Here is a sample of my reefscape. Still tinkering on a few things.. I’ll hide the acrylic rods once I put in tank. Check out the floating shelf that I am going to crazy-glue to my overflow box. Has anyone done this before?
FYI I’m using Gorilla glue gel, eMarco 400 and CaribSea life rock (shapes and shelf)

I really like what your doing there. I tried to use some of the Liferock shapes and base rock in my build but I couldn’t make it work so I went another way. If I could have done it similar to they way you’re doing it I would have been much happier with the Liferock. Great job. Welcome to the forum.

I like it. Looks good. If you veiw the aquascapes thread you will see other scapes with floating ledges either glued or using magnets to hold it in place.
How did your final aquascape turn out? Any pics? Also which acrylic rods did you use and would you use them again?

I used superglue and cement and a little weld-on water proof putty. I didnt use rods. My rock is mostly pukani and I find it hard to use rods with it.

Thanks. Not sure which rock I'll be using but I'm definitely reaquascaping. Thanks for the update.
