I really do love caves in my tanks. Many fish species absolutely love the enclosed feeling of security or peaceful hide, while others completely ignore, usually because they are mid/top column swimmers. Neons and catfish are especially fond along with some zebras and pretty much any loaches. Really does add a little bit of magic and a whole bunch of interest to your tanks. And of course the first place my kids want to search for our fish. Seeing a serpae tetra emerging from a cave is 10x cooler than seeing my pearl Gouramis from across the room hahaha. Never really thought of a cave as you set up on this video. Definitely will be a fun project coming up. Thanks so much!
I love this Andrew 💯 I love the cave system and how you can view it from the other side 👍 you really designed this with a lot of thought and it looks great!!😍 I love watching builds with stones and wood, one of my favorite channels is Green Aqua and they're always thinking out of the box on building these type of things! You have absolutely inspired me😉 I need to get to work 😂💪!! I hope you have a blessed day my friend thank you for sharing!! Awesome!💚🌿🐟🌿
Thanks for the video Andrew excellent job on the cave just bought a small tank to put next to my Oscars tank .I will try this cave system stay safe George and England
I hope it works out well for you George! You could also use super glue and cotton to stick the rocks together but I’d rather have something a little stronger. Do you have any idea what you are going to stock it with?
Looks awesome! Just saw another video a few days ago where they built one completely under the substrate and the livestock enter from the top. Pretty cool! I look forward to seeing your fish in there.
Yeah with my stones that I had it would have been more difficult to accomplish that type of design. So I adapted it to what I had. If I had dragon stone or some other lighter stone I definitely could try that. But the cost to do it with dragon stone is just a lot more than my quarry sandstone.
OMG that’s amazing brother! I’ve got to try this on a smaller scale for my Guppy Grove. I’ll definitely film & credit you! Might even upload if it’s successful…😏 What an incredible share. Thanks!
I think you could totally make something for a guppy tank and have it be successfully. Basically just a 3D arts and craft project with glue. But there is no teaching telling you that you did a bad job. Just a bunch or random people online... Typing that out now I don’t know which one is worse lol

She likes the expensive fish, like rainbows and discus to name a few, but she also likes the super red plecos so it could go a very many different ways.
No twin. I just shaved 😂 That is a valid concern but with how I ended up doing it there is a gap along the entire side that touches the wall. I have hang on back filter right above that so it should move water through there no problem. Will mulm accumulate there? Probably. Am I concerned about that long term? Not really.
Yes I think you could. Would be a little more difficult to stack them but wouldn’t be impossible by any stretch of imagination. I had considered doing local river rock but wanted something that would stack better.
@@TheAquariumLibrary the guy didn't want it in the middle of his giant flower bed anymore and didn't want to move it himself... I don't have need for that much either..but it cuts easily. The remainder of it now in my landscaping..it looks cool
@@TheAquariumLibrary to be honest none yet I'm still gathering hard scape for an 80 gallon heavily planted and scaped set-up with 2 canister filters 3, 100 watt LED floodlights ...I think the fish will be cpd's , Pseudomagil luminatis , guppies and a huge cleanup crew
Ohh that will be an interesting tank for sure with a massive amount of lighting. How deep is the tank? How many CPDs and rainbows are you trying for? Also if you have seen the blue star endlers you should check them out. I think they rival any guppy.

@TheAquariumLibrary how did you find out if the Flex Glue and Gaps & Cracks was fish, snail and shrimp safe?

They do some very creative stuff for sure. When you get around to making one, post a video and show it off. I want to see what you come up with.
It does look fantastic 💯👍👍👍😍
@@TheAquariumLibrary I will 🌿💚

looks simple but clever
I’d agree. Really wasn’t that hard to make, just took time waiting for everything to fry at the different stages.

Haha you never know..the internet is a crazy and wild world
Deadfred so glad to see you here my friend 💪💚🌿🐟🌿👍
Nice shave.
That cave is awesome! Looks great!
Who’s tank is that?
It is a new tank that I got that will be set up with fish that my wife likes and wants to have around.
@@TheAquariumLibrary oh nice! I’m interested in seeing what she fills it with!
She likes the expensive fish, like rainbows and discus to name a few, but she also likes the super red plecos so it could go a very many different ways.
Do you have a twin? I remember a guy with a beard
The only concern with that cave is that it could become a dead spot
No twin. I just shaved 😂

Can you use river rocks?
Yes I think you could. Would be a little more difficult to stack them but wouldn’t be impossible by any stretch of imagination. I had considered doing local river rock but wanted something that would stack better.
I recently got a 280lb lava rock for $20. it was not easy to load.... LoL ...it's an addiction..
How did you come by 280 lbs for $20!?! I unfortunately don’t have space to store than much rock.
@@TheAquariumLibrary the guy didn't want it in the middle of his giant flower bed anymore and didn't want to move it himself... I don't have need for that much either..but it cuts easily.
The remainder of it now in my landscaping..it looks cool
Haha. Can’t beat that. Large pieces are hard to come by. What fish are you using it with?

I see you've changed your channel name, appropriate
I did change my channel name, though it wasn't just for me to shave the beard. I have a video explaining why I changed my name.
