    I've been into this hobby for 25 years and I never considered the idea of gluing rocks together. About to transition my Tanganyika cichlids from a 75 gallon to a 95 gallon acrylic tank. Might have to dry out my dragon stone and try out your technique. What type of glue/epoxy would you recommend?

  • @Chantmagick
    @Chantmagick 7 років тому

    @WCorbin182 7 років тому

    Nice vid. Glad I was apart of the VIP behind the scene access. Looking forward to the progression of the tank. You have the most patiences ever. Man compared to my 20 min scape lol. looks great

  • @Johnaubreyduncan
    @Johnaubreyduncan 7 років тому

    Perfect!!. As the rock turns live, it will turn gray, and you will never see the stone fix. Perfect scape to go with maxspect gyre.

  • @Venomthegr8

  • @Reefgrrl
    @Reefgrrl 7 років тому +1

  • @dhender02
    @dhender02 7 років тому

    Nice work CJ!! I had a saltwater tank in the late 80's for about 5 years.. Then I got out of it because of a mishap with my heater... :( Anyway, I'm getting back into it, but so much has changed. To help me ease back in a couple of months I'm setting up a 50 gallon Red Sea Reefer in my bedroom as a reef tank. So when I finish my basement next summer I would have a better idea of on setting up the 280 gallon custom FOWLR tank i'm putting in. Keep the vids coming!!! I gotta a lot to absorb!!!

    @jdavidp66 7 років тому

    Great Work CJ.
    Man I was amazed when you actually made a cardboard mock-up of the tank . You'll like Pukani Rocks that's what I have. But get ready for phosphate leaching out of them. But no worries it just part of the slow process! Can't wait to see it wet and cycled!!

    Fantastic update, I really like your thoughts on (if it's ugly for 3-6-8 months so be it) I see so many posts on FB groups where people say things like "my tanks been running 6 weeks why are my corals dying"
    You take a look at the bigger picture on a realistic time scale, happy reefing man.

    I really like your method in making your videos. The way you explain everything you are doing and why you are doing it as it happens in the video instead of talking while you are working. Aquascape looks awesome man, i look forward to your progress. Im trying to keep up with you with my own tank.

  • @neilfpx4786
    @neilfpx4786 7 років тому

    Nice looking scape. I will be upgrading in the future also. Too much coral in too small a tank. I got a War going on. I like the cement that you used, looks great!

  • @johnsreef2622
    @johnsreef2622 7 років тому

    It's so cool how much you learn actually building a tank. I have learned so much in the last year. Also I have to say CJ this build is absolutely awesome. You are doing a great job. Teaching me a lot along the way. I am going to keep working on mine for another year learning as I go. No matter how much I learn from you. Making my own mistakes is part of the process lol. Thanks for all you vids. So helpful.
