I put silicone on the rock, then a thin circle of putty then more silicone. Similar to what crabs did but I added silicone between rock and putty. So far so good!

A little bit of insurance until I have sand in.


Man that freaks me out...looks cracked....

Yeah moving the tank across the stand leaves black marks from the trim. I'm going to have to paint around the tank once it's in position to make it look nice again.

Nice job Brett. Not a big fan of rock walls but I must say I like this one. Now if we can just get you to leave the damn tank long enough to grow a little coralline!
