!~FROCKS~!

Ok, I am making a foam rock using Great stuff, some cutoff risers and some plastic tubing.

These are the items used:

GREAT STUFF!


1/2" cut off risers 6" long, I broke them in half to make them shorter.


This tubing fits inside the risers. I went from riser to riser with the tubing creating arches


This is the first shot of the top, you can see where the risers are.


I used a large rock for the left side, this view shows the cavern holes. There are a total of three to help with water circulation.
I am going to run a tube into this cave to attach a small powerhead to so as to prevent any excess waste buildup. It will run when
I feed the eel. The cave is made out of an upside down Bill Miller's gallon tea bucket. It worked like a champ!


I will be shaping it out better and smearing some more great stuff on the outside, then covering it with crushed shells and coral,
also some sand. I am working on the shape of the arches, to make them look more natural.
Here is a pic!


This is the underside to show the layout!


This is the back to show the height of the real rock. It is pretty big.


Hope you like it so far! The arches have been built up to connect them together to form a solid firm structure. It is very strong! How long do I need to wait till I put it in with fish?????????

Just make sure it doesnt float.....

Mmmmm...looks tasty. I'd put some strawberries on it though.

It wont float, that rock is about 20-25 lbs!
