Very sturdy. I tried pushing them over with reasonable force & they didn't budge. Still not sure I'd trust that in a glass tank. I might zip tie the bigger pieces.

What type of rock is it?

Dave C · #3 10-30-2006, 12:47 PM

It's Tonga from J&L.

How many pounds do you have in the pictures?

That is about 310lbs.

Looks awesome laid out like that. How are you gonna get the pieces into the tank? Man, I can't move a rock and then put it back the way it was 5 minutes later, they never fit together the same way!

Just curious why you want to run UV, what's the goal behind that?

I put the rocks back into the bins in groups, left island in one box, right in another, middle in another. And I took a ton of pics so hopefully I can recreate something similar.

The goal behind the tank is to keep it clean, low nutrient, disease free, algae free, cyano free. I've had good luck with UV for many issues in the past & it's like a good insurance policy in my experience.

Awesome Setup Dave,

I look forward to watching it come together! We have some of the same equipment... Ozotech, Aquatronica, Tunze's

Nice stuff! Glad to see you are doing it right, from the beginning.

Same steel stand with wooden shroud on magnets too.
