I would definitely drill some holes then use reef epoxy in the rock hole. When you jam the rod in some will hopefully squeeze in creating a mechanical bond. You could also roll out the epoxy and...

The Stand

Shelps and Kein, Thanks for the advice! I think I just needed the nudge not to be so cheap. The extra $25 for the new pane will be well worth the piece of mind. I ordered the glass today, if I...

Fishward. I love the look of your wall. It reminds me of the structures that the Rain Forest Cafe have. I think the EMACO R400 might be worth a try due to it's smooth texture. I would imagine...

I know the chip could spread but it is round in shape as opposed to sharp if that makes sense. I know that the extra few bucks to replace the pane of glass is better than replacing the new floor. ...

The Sump

I want to be able to keep everything "fishy" under the tank, including an area for electrical. As the tank is 6ft I figure a 3ft sump would suffice and still give me enough room otherwise. ...
