What’s the best way to make an approximately 18” horizontal/floating shelve in my aquascape?
I did mine with a combination of acrylic rods, lots of super glue, and 2 part putty. It is 21" and offset to give it a floating shelf look.

I like @Brew12 ’s overhang but just not sure how to build it to stay. Plus my tank is only 24” deep. So here is my 1st attempt at a dry stack finished today.

Obviously not very free floating

Just keep trying until you are happy is all that matters.

Nice. Thanks. Was debating fibreglass rods with large flat pave stone (under sand) make a big “C” really.
