The best piece of custom rockwork ive made

[Rickdareefa]

It took about 5 hours. By far the most time ive spent on rockwork and it was just one little chunk im gonna incorporate into my existing tank. A buttload of super glue, epoxy, drilling, hammering fiberglass rods, and rubble rock got me to what im claiming as my best piece ever. Its gonna be sweet once its all covered in coraline and the colors are all uniform!

Much better than the one I just put together. How tall is it overall?

14 inches

Sometimes I wish we could joke around in a more adult way. Maybe we need an R rated 18 and up lounge.

Ok, I get it. How's this? A place to be sophomoric where we won't upset the "Adult" parents of sophomores.

Back to the OP. So @Rickdareefa, when is that rock going in a tank?

 

[Rickdareefa]

I was thinking i should let its sit in a bucket of saltwater for a week or 2 with a pump and some cycled media. Ill have to remove two rocks and some coral to fit this in.

 

[Rickdareefa]

I shoved it in, got it wet, but it couldnt fit the whole 14 inches....

I've got some taller buckets if your ever in the area

I appreciate that steve. I would love some bigger buckets. May i ask how big they are and where you bought them. I really wish iCould find some 10 gallon buckets that didnt cost an arm and a leg

 

[Steve Burton]

2 of them came with Seachem matrix. I don't know where the other one came from. You're welcome to one.

Thx for the offer. I just dont understand why i can buy a 5 gallon bucket for 2 bux but when i search for 7 gallans or more theyre 10 bux a piece

 

[Rickdareefa]

Well ive added it to the tank. Everything is extremely clutterd right now i have a bunch of frags i need to post for sale so i can get the racks out And i hate the white rock but overall it works.

 

[Rickdareefa]

This piece is really starting to look good now. I also sold the coral covered rock on the left and replaced them. I got tons of space for new coral now
