This will be for my second tank, first was just a few boulders stacked

so what’s the thoughts, I’m primarily trying to make a habitat scape with nice swim through etc, tank isn’t massive at 100cm x 50cm x 50cm

I’ll no doubt put some easier to keep corals in the future but for now will be fish only

Pretty cool. I would plan to make the structure in 2 or more pieces that will still give the illusion of a single structure in tank. Otherwise removing that as one piece for future maintenance will be a hassle.

It is, the top of the middle arch is just resting on there for now, I am going to glue/fix small rubble rocks to give it no chance to fall or move

thank you

Some thin superglue and rock dust in a joint gives a surprisingly strong bond.
Yes that’s how I’m doing the first fix then epoxy after and I’ll use thin glue and rock dust to hide the joins, the top of that arch piece will be left unglued
