Will be in town next week. Where can I find some acrylic rod , South side if possible.
Time to start some aquascape and want to try this method.

The only place I know of for sure is Sabic PolymereShapes but the are on the N.W. end just off Yellowhead Trail. Google search Sabic and look under international location.

You could also go to Johnston Industrial Plastics. They are located at 4724-91 Avenue.

Ya, normally I would have said this place, but lately their prices have increased quite a bit. Getting costly for DIY projects, rod itself is very cheap, my opinion is go 3/8" for holding rock, unless it's very large, then I would go 1/2". Just make sure your creative, sometimes if you try too hard the scape looks staged. Be sure to epoxy afterwards as the rocks can in some instances spin on the rod if not secured.

what is the suggested brand of epoxy? I have a couple of tubes of twolittlefishes epoxy and I am sure it won't be near enough..
