YesMeaning,
It falls apart in the tank over time?
How much weight does that hold? I can't commit to one aquascape more than 6 months haha its a problem.I see what you’re saying… you move your rocks frequently. I plan on leaving them in place unless something demanding they be moved happens.
In your case I would put the sculpture on acrylic sheet and lift that out if need be?
Too late now. I’ll keep the forum updated as to how it holds up.
I was able to build half my rockscape on one and used it to bring the piece into the tank then slid it off onto the glass bottomHow much weight does that hold? I can't commit to one aquascape more than 6 months haha its a problem.
For a saltwater newbie about to build a scape ... what size holes and how deep?The super glue method works great, I used the Glue masters glue and marco sand. Proper ventilation is the key! And I pre- drilled frag holes on everything.

Did you have help when placing in the aquascape? That would really make me nervous. But maybe I will try it with my frag tank. I am wanting to do some kind of permanent aquascape with it.I was able to build half my rockscape on one and used it to bring the piece into the tank then slid it off onto the glass bottom
Was more an issue of weight for us than the plexi
As long as it’s thick enough should be no issue
Absolutely had help!Did you have help when placing in the aquascape? That would really make me nervous. But maybe I will try it with my frag tank. I am wanting to do some kind of permanent aquascape with it.
That is beautiful! I would love to do something like itI used Marco rock powder and Glue Masters thin for the scape in my 25.
Awesome pieceI used Marco rock powder and Glue Masters thin for the scape in my 25.
Where did you get your rock?I used Marco rock powder and Glue Masters thin for the scape in my 25.
After your analogy I will never look at aquascaping the same way again.I think this really depends on how it is done. When I glue a frag to a rock for example, it can often times lose it's grip over time if it hasn't encrusted.
However, when you do rocks and such, I used A LOT of it. On the larger scaled, the softer glue/cement will bend and go into the cracks etc. When it hardens, it creates little locks.
Similar to catching a monkey with a hole in a box with a cookie/banana. The hole is small enough that the monkey can put it's hand down in the box to grab the cookie/banana. However, when it has something in it's hand, it can no longer remove it's hand from the box. Supposedly they say the monkey never figures it out, refuses to let go of the object, and is thus caught. Could be myth, but the principle behind it is correct.
*Now I hope my stuff doesn't fall apart tomorrow after saying this*
