DIY Aquascape.

[vio]

Today i see a thread about aquascape, so i decide to go at Aquarium Village, i buy to more Acro, than i see nice RRR ( Real Reef Rock) i buy 5 pieces. I got one piece of Acrylic sheet, i cut one slice, warm up one vice( i use torch) and band, glue it, i find one 3/8 road, cut and custom like Dow pins, those rocks is very easy to drill, than i have to find a way to glue some sand ( any sugess. will be welcome) than that the pics.

Nice work Vio, to glue sand you can use epoxy and it will work great on acrylic but if you have sand bed then you can just bury the acrylic sheet under sand ....

To be honest, i pick up this aquascape for Big reason (water flow) i am a big fan of lots water flow, u shut see , when i run the Koralia Magnum 7 ( 2750 G/H) in right bottom side, move out all the detritus, then go right on over flow box via Protein Skimmer, that way i dont like sand, in my opinion sand, then PO4 is the bigger problem for our reef tanks. I will try one exper. in one tank, reverse under gravel filter, i will push the water from bottom through the sand up, to make sure detritus wont precipitate like DSB,then become detritus factory, list i try lol.:knockedou
