Reef Scaping Advice Needed
 

Well I am tired of having a mountain of rock thats kinda tippy in some areas. I want to have my rock stacked up higher with more caves and passage ways for my fish.

I have heard of people using 1/2" pcv pipe and masonary bits to drill the rock and stack it but I was wondering how far you drill into the rock? Do you use glues? If so is there something better than that putty epoxy?

Also any tips or tricks would be awsome aswell as pictures :biggrin:

zip ties buddy and acrylic rod with epoxy is better than pvc plus half inch is large holes to be drilling unless the rock is huge:)

Go to sabic polymere shapes and buy a piece of 3/8 acrylic rod and use that. I drilled with a masonry 3/8 bit i got from canadian tire for like 5 bucks. Use discretion on how far to drill. Once your happy use kz speed glue to hold it together.

What Wes said...be prepared to spend a whole dang day doing it too. Ugh..

And while your at it, invite a friend over to "give you a hand for a second" then it only takes half the time.

I didnt know you were related to my brother :lol:

Yes but don't add your sand half way through doing it cause it makes it hard to see the tank.

Hey, lets try to keep this thread on track.
make one little mistake, and you never live it down

PVC and zip ties is what I used. I like the way it turned out.
