Yeah, at first i used epoxy "plug cast" but the pvc is quicker.
Lately i did it with thermo plastic, even better.

I tried drilling and with the dry rock available now that was a pain to say the least!

Just finished reading through your thread Sam. Just wow! Beautiful corals and some of my favourite angels there! I'll be following now for sure!

Ends up nasty?
How so?

Australian reefers can be shockers. I've been threaten to have my tank shut down and destroyed because someone "knows a guy" in our fisheries dept, multiple copy-cats with not the right coral trying to make a quick buck off my name/s, insult throwing and people going out of their way to specifically undercut me when I was selling things too. Nowadays I stay pretty quite here in Aus and only really interact with people I know or get along with, it's just too much heartache for me to try and deal with people any more haha. Anything I have to sell, I "sell" to my lfs and he sells them and I have no part of interacting with people hahaha

It's not easy to live in a convict colony!
Your fellow reefers must have some past trauma deep in their genes to explain such a conduct!
They dont deserve your hard grown corals.

Melbourne! Come up here Wrangy! We won"t give you a hard time! Only good natured ribbing!

Thanks, i really like the angels.
Going on 2 years they're in the tank now and they dont bother me too much with the corals.
A little bit jerk with the butterflies however...

I'm presently working on a spare scape to allow to treat the right side of the aquascape with javel to get rid of an invasive xenia.
Probably going to make the move late spring.
And the little frag tank is almost ready! Just waiting on the g5.

Sam, I haven't heard of javel before. What is that?

My bad, in french it's called "eau de javel", bleach in english.

Ahh! No worries, your english is way better than my french!

First layer of cement done!
Just need to stabilize the base and add some for better looking.
I should start the curing process at the next water change.

Great scape Sam! Lots of potential there!

Frag tank ready!
Not much but enough for a while i think.
Might go with egg crate at some point.

 

[sam.veilleux30]

Well, it’s done!
Still some adjusments to be made, a few corals are too big for their new places.
Let’s hope nothing die!
