would you? the price will be almost twice the price of live rock!

[andrewsk]

I sure would. Not to beat a dead horse but since I am so anti-wall of rock, some of thos structures would save me days of work.

I am currently putting together a rock structure with a huge shelf and branching structures from Tonga Live Rock with Ties, Rods and aquascaping Putty.

It has so far taken me a week and I think at least 1 more to complete it. I guess the question for me is, how much is my time worth.

it's not really that expensive, according to what i can make out in their catalogue, a 2x2 foot square piece is 110 euros, or 168 bucks. thats less than 20 pounds of indonesian LR at $8/lb with GST.

These are the ones I was looking at last year, kind of the same idea.

In Taiwan they had some plain black molded foam reef backgrounds that were cheap and looked awesome once they were covered in coraline. I was already over limit on my luggage. I should ask the Brother-in-law if he could track them down.

We do distribute reefceramics in canada ,all pieces in stock & you can get them from our dealers,in case of Alberta Golds would be the best place to go with for reef ceramic ,Albert knows about those pieces & he can bring them in if you wish.
The other benefit of using Reef ceramics over live rock is minimal cycling ,with almost no algae cycles ,there is no nutrient build up & no pests of any kind,they are real ceramic made out of calcium based material & porous.
The shapes are amazing ,my favorites are the back wall plates.

So if you went ceramic,you would still have to find a pod population somewhere.Or maybe still have some live rock.

Thanks for the link Albert, cool stuff! The Aqua Medic nano looks interesting, Giesman always slick stuff too of course.

The Arche Noah lights jumped out at me, very nice form factor. Most impressive has to be the new Sieo stuff though, led mini lights, a new hob skimmer and that Polario pump all look pretty interesting.

anyone lese notice this clam pic?

Check these out too:

(sorry had to make space for some new pic) coral frag holder (just attach frag to whole in the middle with ceramic glue)

(sorry had to make space for some new pic) clams holder

by the way, those background plates are actually quiet reasonably priced. Approx 350 Euro to cover up a 100 Gallon tank. That's like $500. You would have to spend the same (if not more) for live rock. (or wouldn't you?) of course the shipment charges would just kill you

Frag holder = 40 Euro
