Wow thanks for all the likes on the scape, I really did enjoy making it and still like to look at it watching it all grow. I did take some pics of the build of it, not too many but here are some
When designing it I tried to get 1/3 on each side of the centre line for aesthetics
I love it, gonna give this a shot. Where did you get all your shelf rock?Ok, ill try run through the exact process I use with scaping...the strongest method ive found is to grab some aquaknead and massage it til its uniform, then add in a few drops of superglue and knead again so the glue is evenly mixed in. Then roll the knead into a ball or a tube shape (depending on what rock work your gluing), Now apply super glue to both sides of the ball that will touch the rocks. Sandwich the knead between the rocks and massage any excess that squishes out. I then clamp or use cable ties to hold in place - this will dry in an hour or so depending on how hot the day is.
For the overhangs I let them set over night due to the weight and minimal support - hold them up with tubes, toilet rolls or something to support while drying. I used about half a tube of aquaknead for each of the over hang joints, they are solid, dont skimp here cause you will be in more trouble if an overhang breaks off in your tank!
Moving it out of the tank would be a mission, especially when covered in corals. But it can easily be disassembled into a few pieces to make it easier to lift out. I really wanted to achieve a look where the tank is just floating corals...thought that would be cool when it grows up.
Another tip, try building the scape on a table that is the height of the tank cabinet, so you get the perception of how you will be looking at it. Id often place rocks together and sit back and look from different angles to get the look I was after.
Just some coral shots...
Wow beautiful shots. The question is how do you get sleep? Lol, I would be up all night staring at my tank.
