Now Sean has a highly respected publication to back up his thought/desire to drill and tie his rocks :smile:

No one on this board has yet to say they've drilled and tied their rock together. I wonder how many people here have done this?

Personaly I just stack the rock in, being very careful to make sure that it is secure.. I basicly try to see if I can tip it over if I hit it a bit etc. I find its best to place the rock on the very bottom (glass) and then put sand around it. Keeps it very secure.

i like bev's reasoning, "you will want to change it later". anyways i like the unnatural stuff to be on the outside of the tank as much as possible, no plastic or zip ties inside. au naturel is kinda fun, you know :cool: i had a minor cave in yesterday when i was setting up my rock, and after checking to make sure it was stable, i left it that way, because if the rock wanted to sit that way, who was i to say no? :razz:

I have seen holes drilled in live rock to accomodate zap straps in only one place. Big Al's in Burnaby. It is in their show tank. I don't think it is done all over the strusture, but I know for sure that to take some of the rock to the top they needed to zap some onto the glass braces. Looks really cool though
