    Really is cool to see how similar aquascaping techniques can be applied to reef tanks, awesome work!

      Thanks mate for loving this scape. In Reef world less guys focus on scaping so I guess lot can be achieved by putting in more effort towards scaping.

    This is awesome man, thank you, the best part of all is the use of the rock powder and a thin cyno ( super glue ), I hate the gel stuff and activator... Keep it coming

      Great Resource! My RedSea E 170 should arrive in 4-6 weeks - my first tank. Watching your videos inspires me to create a custom reefscape. Thank you!

      ​@@Michael-yf1woThanks for loving the video and supporting the channel. After you glue it all do apply mortar too at the back of the scape or in the gaps where you were not able to apply glue. Helps make the scape super strong and last for years. I do that with all my scapes for peace of mind.

    you make something amazing out of nothing because this macro rock is really limiting creatively. Great upload mate.

    nice job. but what happens if you have a problem with a certain coral how do you remove it from the rock as it's all one big heavy piece..lots of shade and lack of flow be a problem also when corals grow

    • @JagAquaticsAustralia
      @JagAquaticsAustralia  2 роки тому

      Thanks for the comment and supporting the channel. All slabs are designed so that there is no overlap or shadows. Yes if coral grows to a certain size then they need to be removed or cut and yes hardscape piece can’t be removed. Flow is not a issue too the way it designed. But if at the end coral out grows a tank then there is no other way then to cut the coral and reduce the size.

    Man.. looks amazing. I'm putting together a 36g bow front. I'm waiting to build a floating shelf. Any tips would be helpful.

    • @JagAquaticsAustralia
      @JagAquaticsAustralia  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for loving this scape and the channel. Below is link to another video where I created a long floating shelf. Main thing to care there is use thicker pieces where shelf starts to support the weight and use the thinner shelf rocks as it goes towards the end.

    Beautiful work. How do you cure this big piece? Or can you just put it in the tank and it let age?

    • @JagAquaticsAustralia
      @JagAquaticsAustralia  3 роки тому

      Thanks for loving the scape and supporting the channel. Marco rocks are natural rocks and don’t need any curing. Cement that I apply at the back get cured in 24 hours and safe to put in the tank after that. It will keep curing for few days and get stronger inside the water. So after creating a scape and cementing it I wait for 24hours and then add to the tank.

    Idk if I will get a response but I am willing to try. I am getting ready to build a new lagoon tank. It's 4ft by 2ft and only 9inches deep. The thing is I wanna do a nsa scape like a interlocking tunnel system but the kicker is I want the rock to come out of the water in the center with a waterfall going back into the tank. I am looking for ideas and tips
