aquascaping

[drewby9]

is there any trick you aquascaping your rocks...do you just stack them together to get to look you want or is there some type of glue of putty you use?

I use aquaium safe silicon personally. So they won't fall and crush the fish.

Make sure it's one hundred and 10 percent dry before you put it in though.

if you put your base rocks in before your sand it helps alot .... other than that i just have mine stacked to where i feel comfertable with it..... some use epoxy but in almost 4 years in the hobby ive never tried it

I just stack, messing with it to much becomes un-natural. Just make sure it won't fall. I've seen people drill holes in LR for coral frags and frag plugs.

Remember the biggest problem with glueing or epoxying them together is that if you want to move them later you have a major problem, also, if they are all glued together how are you getting them out if you need to? I have seen people place their rock on pvc shelves, drilled and stacked on pvc pipes or as most people do, stacked together like a jigsaw so that they don't topple over and cause a rock slide and take out your tank

alright so just so my rocks are sturdy once stacked in my tank i should be fine right?
