Building Rock Structures

[RadReef]

I started putting together my rock structures for my new tank. I used a mixture of Marcos rocks and rock from my previous tank. To make the shapes I used zip-ties and black Great Stuff pond and stone foam. The structures are surprisingly strong!!

Looks like you are off to a good start; some pretty cool looking structures there. You might want to clip of the ends of those zip ties so they are not sticking out, and I personally would brush a layer of epoxy over the pond stuff and sprinkle some aragonite sand over it to help it blend in and make it look like the rest of your rock.

lol, I wondered if people would think I left the zip-ties uncut. I did cut them and completely covered the ties with foam. I may still cover the foam with sand, I have plenty, I got 160lbs. from Marcos rocks.

LOL, figured you might have, but just wanted to make sure. Be sure and keep us posted as the build progresses.

Well, I have one more tower to finish and then I'll tackle the arch, this should be interesting, lol

They look great!

Thanks!! I wanted towers and an arch because the tank is going to be a peninsula. So of course the rock has to look cool from both sides. :bigsmile:
