The picture doesnt capture the 3 dimmensional look of it you get in person, but you can kinda tell.

I connected all of the rock together using 1/4 acrylic rods...
I need more rock though :-p

Please let me know what you think...

The left column is made up of 7 rocks connected together using 1/4" acrylic rod... the top piece is actually 2 rocks. basically I drilled about 3" into each rock and stuck them together with the acrylic rod.

Very VERY nice!!! Did you have to glue the acrylic rod to the rock?

no, it wasnt really necessary and would be kinda hard anyway.. It would take a mixture of glues/epoxys to bond to the acrylic and rock as well....

I think it looks really neat!

I would add some more lr though if it were my tank. :)

Looks a little hairy to me...

I can take that off your hands and give it a shave if you want :)

j/k Looks good in all seriousness.

yeah, I'm slowly but surely getting over a hair algae problem, only to now have a dino problem.
a couple of my T5s are getting old... need some new ones!
Thanks for the kind words guys :D

The Buda just looks so small in that tank. It needs to go back into a nano, with head poking out of the water.

Or you need to upgrade to a larger Buda.

no doubt he'll end up in the nano I build for my new mantis :D
Someone has to keep that mantis in line, right...

BTW this tank setup is about 4 weeks old.

where did you get the RBTA?
Brett Wilson

The RBTA is a split of my original which is probably the one Tim has in his tank....

I got it from Yikan 6 months ago or so...

I am going to get the RBTA to split soon, because it is getting huge!

I love the way that looks. What a great idea.
