Great concept....I will definitely be keeping that in mind as I set up my current project tank that was a 55 gallon salvaged from the Trash Heap and past the Leak Test.
awesome scape !! i am in the process of building the scape for my new waterbox 15g peninsula ... i got the marco rock and im going for a negative space aquascape
I am new to the hobby and doing research. GREAT video, I love the way this looks. I do have one question, what is the flat rock called and where did you get it? I love it!
What's the best product to hold dry live rock, it starts to come apart every water change ? Does cyanacrylate or accelerators and such that doesn't specify aquarium safe, is there any poisoning ?
If it works, it works! I prefer to drill holes into both rocks I'm attaching, fill those holes with glue then use acrylic tubes (like dowels) to provide extra support. At least for larger pieces and esp. ledges. When your gluing plugs to ledges it's real easy to press too hard and have the rock break right off.
Love that coral glue lol but looks great man 👍 see a few spot already I would put some very nice tabling acros, hell even some grafted monti's on the side ledges would be epic to see grow out 😆
I think your tips are good for coral collectors. Master freshwater aquascapers don't use the hardscape merely as support for the plants. We are light years behind most of the serious freshwater fishkeepers in many ways.
Great Vlog containing Great FISH Content! What’s a suggested adhesive to safely use when building a gorgeous Scape such as this? Acquired at the “local store”
I have balsa RC planes and I use CA glue for those, Is this the same thing and is it SAFE for the water, corals and fish? I do not cure dry rock so.....
1:55 and that is why this isnt aquascaping. Aquascaping is creating a piece of nature. You are only thinking about placement of corals. What they need and how to present them. Which is totally fine. Its just not aquascaping 😉
Not sure if you saw the video but super glue IS ONLY USED TO MAKE SURE YOU LIEK THE POSITION OF ROCK. You then come back and secure it with cement or epoxy. On a side not I have seen aquascapes held together for over 5 years with super glue only. Of coarse not crazy ledges but pretty much stacking them.
Not sure if you have ever looked into this glue. Even BRS made a video on it stating it is the quickest setting and most thicker of all. Trust me I hve Tried them all and they are absolutely not the same. You get what you pay for

Great scape and looks good. Love the tips for your scape and how to manage the coral placement.
Superb video. Many thanks!
Mr. potato head aquascape. Love it! Best of luck with the new system!
Looks good.
Looks amazing!
Thanks
Many thanks for your info 😀👍🏴
Very helpful. Planning for coral placement is an excellent approach.
Thanks and glad it helped :)
Best tip ever when I was taking a 🚽 in the bathroom aquascaping.
thats when the best ideas come to you when your on the toilet. hahaha
That’s where I’m at watching
Great talk man most folk dont think about these things...have a good day ahead man :)
Thank you :) This was really helpful
awesome scape !! i am in the process of building the scape for my new waterbox 15g peninsula ... i got the marco rock and im going for a negative space aquascape
Looks dam good man 🍻 :)
I like that structure!
Thanks brotha 🤙🏼
Looking good mate thanks for the tips! Im about to rescape myself 😅
Can’t wait to see it 🤙🏼
Bro looks amazing! Come to Canada and help me build one like this 🙏

Unless your trying to do a zoa garden like me..... i tottaly agree with ya ;)

So basically you're gluing the scape this way then coming back with cement to make that process easier. Good tips thanks
Yes allows you to make sure you like it befor it’s permanent
which cement is reef safe ... can i use Normal cement?
@@quransunnah96 no dont do that. E Marco makes one, also aqua forest stone fix. Make sure whatever you use is made for an aquarium and is reef safe.

BSI (Bob Smith Industry) also has 8 oz Ca for like $15 on Amazon and a gap filling Ca for $23
What was the accelerator you used? I believe I found it on Amazon under Bob Smith Industries, but it looks like it is toxic.

I know right!!!

Yo thanks!
The glue I have found holds rock the best, reef cement has failed time and time again same with the 2 part putty. Glue is amazing!
Which glue?
Nice video and scape, although I don’t like the fake rock look but to each there own ;)
👌
Great Vlog containing Great FISH Content! What’s a suggested adhesive to safely use when building a gorgeous Scape such as this? Acquired at the “local store”
Reef epoxy or reed cement is best
Excellent and Thank You! I took note of the one you used in your Video too
I have balsa RC planes and I use CA glue for those, Is this the same thing and is it SAFE for the water, corals and fish? I do not cure dry rock so.....
@@austinbassin4420 Awesome and thanks. Its been a while since I watched this, but the info helped. Super creative!

symmetrical shapes don't look natural. will look much different grown out with coral though
It looks like ET lol
Sad to tell you but super glue degrades underwater. Not the best way to attach rocks together.

did u realy do a 14 min youtube video abut using super glue?
B.S ... Move to 7:00
Dude you got ripped off! You can buy glue at the dollar store for super cheap!
