Froggie's 33g Upgrade (Will Update Impulsively!)

[jenniebutterfly]

when you build the frame for something bigger, you would build supports exactly where the tank will sit. that would be your strongest point. then the rest of the frame would come off of that inner strong frame.

Romain: It does look like a CPR bakpak. I knew it wasnt top knotch stuff but...eh its free

$50 for an HOB skimmer is a decent price in China.

U no likey?

Dude! All you have is a Oceanic 30g. You cant fit Stonehenge into that. Besides I dont think th Brits would appreciate you taking one of their landmarks. On top of that, transport will be a logistical nightmare!!!.

J/K - the truth is that I had no idea what your meaning was when you posted that pic Now I get it. And I like it!!

You're so simple minded Herman :splitspin
I'm building famous, recognizable rock monuments in my tank... :duh:.The trick is maintaning the look even after I stock it.

Well I looked around for the right place to get the rocks for the Stonehedge design and came across Capt'n Jer from http://www.reeferrocks.com/
He's got great reputation on ReefCentral so I'd thought I'd email him.
And looky looky here, he done' found me a perfect rock, 'mon.
This dude is so friendly and enthusiatic. Can't wait for it to be cut.

 

[coralcrazy]

wow, looks very nice. I can't wait fill the thing with water and sand already

 

[romain]

wooooooow

:flower: The rising Pompeii :flower:

Is that just a slab of marble?

 

[nanoreefer22]

I don't get it

 

[scarf_ace1981]

:scratch: what is Q up to?

i can only guess that will be your background.
or
intricate part of your rockwork

-i hope it's not expensive because it will just get covered in coraline.

Hey Q,

I can't wait to see the aquascape. Are you really going for Stonehenge or Atlantis?

 

[Quang]

I thought that was marble too... but this is the material:

Everyone has questions... I like this... lol.


Basically I'm going to aquascape my tank like the Stonehenge. Not rock for rock but I want it to look something like the picture I attached from the previous post.
Due to the height of the cube, the design will look more elongated vertically.
The vertical rocks will be about 12" high and the horizontal pieces lying ontop will be about 4".

As for maintaning the look, I dont care what color it turns, as long as you can still make out the shape of the design.

This is what I'm talking about...4 pages of aquascape discussion and not plumbing analysis. Yeah!

 

[herman]

I don't get it

HA!!! And people say Im simpleminded

 

[Quang]

Here you slow pokes :tongue1:
The guys @ Reeferrocks.com rock! (no pun intended :lol
:splitspin

 

[Deanos]

Nice! I guess you'll be gluing frags to the tank's walls? :p

 

[scarf_ace1981]

Q is the rock pictured, the exact rock you are getting? or is this where you got your idea?

i just don't know how it will look w/ corals. i think coral placement will be very hard w/ rockwork like that. i would like that in a freshwater tank better.

best of luck it is fresh and new.
