320g build/journey/experiment DIY :-)

looking good so far. I have a sugestion for a tool to help you get things off the bottom of the tank, I ordered a set of forcepts that are 30" long and they work awsome. check with some of the online fresh water planted tank stores. I will try remember where I got them and post the name of the place for you.

I agree with what's been said. The rocks themselves will look naturaly enough in texture at least as time goes on. But that structure looks like it will fill a large portion of the tank if the board are in the correct spot there...

Oh yes please do I really want something like that. Are they stainless? The plastic grippers can't yank my algae out and I'd love a pair of these. Sorry for the off-topic post.

24" not 30 and yes stainless and they come with removable silicone covers for the jaws.

I think it will be fine you can always take some out if you need more space and sell what you take out once Coraline is growing on it your good to go. get some of the money that you put out in making it back so you can buy more corals.

Sorry to be off topic but you can get a smaller version at most Fly Tackle shops for around $10. For Vancouverites the flea market on Terminal often has them for about $8.


Love the build so far. I made a good portion of my original rock and now you can hardly tell what was natural and what was man-made. Your recipe looks stronger than mine ended up being.

why would I want a smaller version. I bought them for my freshwater tank to plant in a 32" deep tank so I wouldn't be wet up to my neck and to keep as much of my body out of the tank as I could. I used them in my salt water tank also.

These are the biggest holes there are some that only smaller fish would want to swim through but you cant see them at this angle they are about 4"x3" and 3"x3" hope that helps with the understandings of space.

Wow that comes out to $60 shipped to me! Hells no!

Edit: Just paid $40 CDN for the exact same thing on Ebay. Heads up for interested parties.

Man your fish are gonna love all the little places to hide in that!

Well I think that rock work looks spectacular. One of the more impressive and innovative builds I have seen.
