I did this and I loved the look, unfortunately, my goby always uncovers the side of pvc pipe. My anthias and chalk bass love using it as a passage way, but I don’t think I’ll do it again. I get asked so much about the pipe and I thought I had it well camouflaged.

I’m working on a new scape now, and I just created passages using rubble and low overhangs instead of the pvc.
Maybe I should try a rubble cave first? How easy what yours to make?

Would love to see pictures. :p

For sure! I’m having some issues with my mortar, but that shouldn’t be a problem. It may be hard to tell (so I took a bunch of pictures), but I tried to make some places that would allow him to dig in and under and around the rocks where he wouldn’t be in Danger.

It looks really that! That is what I would like to do for my 29g. :)

What epoxy did you use?
I think my goby is going to go right to it! It’s my 4th scape, so each time I change up my ideas some. . I still love using barnacles too. There’s barnacles in this at two spots. My anthias and chalkbass love them.

E-Marco 400. My older bucket is setting fine, but the newer one is giving me some issues. I think I may have a bad batch.
