Daplatapus's upgrade

[daplatapus]

Ya, I have a 150 gal down there now where my 77 and 20 go into now. I'll get this guy running, move the stock from the 77 into it, then shut down my 77.

Cool rock work! I think Kien should give your journal a cool name too!

Ooooo, a cool tank journal name! Kein would have to do it, cause I certainly don't have the imagination for it, lol.

Thanks, man. And neither can I, neither can I. And my wife too, lol. She's getting tired of staring at an empty tank for almost 2 years haha.

I love that floating rock that's a great idea looks slick .How did you mount it on the back glass ?

[daplatapus]

I just used the GE SCS1200 silicone. On the previous page I showed how i cut all my rock so it was flat on the back so sticking it on there was pretty easy. I had to do only a couple pieces at a time and let it set then do another couple pieces. I held them in place overnight with clamps and wire strung over the eurobracing or with plywood shimmed up underneath them. I also put one of my big work shirts underneath them in case they fell before it was all set up.
I thought I had more pics but here's a couple when I started it:
