I Made A Peninsula Style Aquascape With Java Reef Rock!

- In this episode I have a go at creating my first "real" aqua scape using the new-to-Australia Java Reef Rock. This scape was designed to utilise the beautiful angles of a CADE 1500 Peninsula tank setup as a mixed reef.

I think I need to start doing this for peoples new tanks I love aquascaping 😅. Tons of potential with that rock.. good luck moving and reassembling it 👌🏾 nice video
Moved to the boot in one piece (well two pieces as intended). Glue and putty holds up very well!
Take a shot every time he says "peh-nin-chula" lol
Gonna need a few bottles 😅
Good work Sam! Aquascape looks great! 👌🥰
Thank you! 😁
Excellent Rock scape 👍🇺🇸
thank you, I am proud of it!
Loved the csgo knife flip ya did there with the rock in pov 😂
Hahaha glad someone noticed 😅
Nice work mate! It looks beautiful. If I knew what I know now I would do the same make separate rock bands much easy to remove from the tank. Nice rock by the way. Thanks Sam!
Thanks mate!
Looks incredible - love that the rock is so light. Shame I can't get it here but maybe Aquaforest is just as light ;)
Thanks mate!
Nice scape mate 🎉 if they didn't like it I know a bloke 😊
This one is available if you know someone :)
Your T-shirt reminds me of it's time for Underwater Pet Expo 2023?
would be amazing, but I don't think we will be able to do a show this year...
@@ParkersReef 😭😭😭😭whyyyyyyyyyyyy
@@chengz a lot of work that I am afraid I just don't have the appetite for this year
Hi Sam nice video, just wondering if u can tell me what glue ur using to stick the rocks? Thanx
Sure thing, it’s BSI maxi cure
The Java Reef Rock isn't too bad to work with but it does have one slight disadvantage in that being so light it does move around a bit more once you have water in the tank and high flow if you run a bare bottom tank. I had to use some Real Reef Rock on top to keep it sliding around. Probably not an issue if you want a sand substrate.
Just another reason for sand :p
Great scape. How many kilos and what was the cost for that weight?
End weight was about 30kg. Rock is around $24 a kilogram
Did your buddy use the scape for his own tank? Any initial complaints with the rock once filled with water?
He chose to go a different direction, so the scape is currently living in the boot of my car 😅
Only asked as I purchased in UK a large single plate piece for £60(had a whole in the top, wanted to use a cave when I buy a Marine Betta). But I cannot find any reviews in UK of the rock anywhere or hardly any reviews anywhere on UA-cam of this Java Rock. Just threating that I shouldn't place in my tank without any reviews to fall back on.
I have since seen a number of tanks with this rock in them and it is working a treat. No issues what so ever
Setting up another tank Sam?
Not for me this one :)
How much rock did u end up using and how much was in the boxes u started with too please? I don’t think u said in the vid 🤔 maybe I missed it 🤷♂️😂🍻
I think I used about 30kg of rock in this scape
@@ParkersReef they about 20kgs per box u had at the start then?
Yeah about that
@@ParkersReef pretty light for how much rock for sure! I think I got 12-15kgs total rock for my 50l tank 😂 probably only used 10-12 coz I still have some leftover, but still, u get what I mean… how was the rock to break up? Similar to an aerated concrete like hebel? 🤔
