I paint it with a squirt gun. I paint the car by a hobby.

It was a hobby to make the aeroparts of the car and produced the rock.

Beautiful rock and tank!
But how is the porosity of the rock?
I would be worried it wasn't porous enough to really aid in denitrification.
But I know nothing about FRP and the process you used.

I bury a sponge in the sand of the bottom. Therefore I denitrify it.
I let I bury a pipe in the sand and perform retro-firing with a pump every three hours, and aerobic bacteria have activity.

Very cool. I love seeing how people in other countries do things completely different than we do here in the states.

We had a 240sx with a rb25 motor swap! We sold it to build this. Then we sold the drift car cause we had kids and that started our saltwater hobby. My fiancé wants to know the steps you used to make your rock. He wants to try.

Hello. The car costs money. In either coral or car.
It is splendid drift.

You're very kind. I had the sum like a bonsai.
The sand of the bottom is easy to do cleaning. The place equipped with a water supply is good, too. The cleaning of the moss is easy, too.
Is it live in? I put the bacteria (BEPPIN ー SAGO soil bacteria).

I been in construction all my life and as far as I know FRP is Fibreglass Reinforced Plastics then after molded its painted. what you need to know is what paint dries that's reef safe.

Because the FRP is white of the gel coat, I spray brown → pink → green → gray.
Finally, I criticize umber on cloth. I paint the top with chestnut resin of urethane.
