the softner salt dissolved in about an hour, and looks like it worked pretty good. I just have to refine the recipe.

this one has four holes, by fluke they are equally spaced



heres one with a light behind it to show the holes.



gonna do another batch soon i hope

Sweet looking rock. I like the porosity you can get using conditioner salt. Are those little round balls perlite?

The make SCWDs now that are one inch and handle more flow.
You could run one inch all the way through that way, and you don't have to use hose clamps because they come threaded. Just a suggestion not sure if you knew about them as I don't think they have been around long.
Rock looks great. Looking forward to seeing more.

Yea i heard about the one inch SCWDs a few days ago, but i'm happy with these for now. they didn't have any in stock when i bought mine.

Hillbilly, that is sand from a red sea max. got it for a sweet deal cause the owner of the max didn't like the look.

on a side note i was looking at my tank today and saw a baby cerith snail, a baby trochus, and a 5mm sally lightfoot i thought i'd never see again (until it got big that is) also saw some new kind of isopod. i've got lots of little lipmets and astreas but first time seeing trochus and ceriths.
