Hi Everyone,

I am thinking of a new predator tank project and I have been researching into making my own Coral insert similar to the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnoG7LzUeCo

All of the research I have found has been from America and I live in the UK, so I was wondering if anyone could shed any light onto exactly what products/materials I can use to make the silicone moulds, the Polyurethane Corals and the plastic he uses to make the rock part in the video.

Also what paint I would use which is salt water safe and available in the UK as I want to make these look as realistic as possible.

Dare I say it.. I'm after that tanked look and feel without paying thousands for it, I know it will take me time to make it but I don't mind :smile:

Any help or input would be much appreciated

Alex
