Qwik's NEW ROCKWORK

qwik

qwik

I am setting up a new 24x24x24cube(Thanks Will,AO). I have just finished up the rockwork and still have a way to go before anything gets wet . Very hard to photo rocks but there are two main branches and then a set of steps in the center area . It was all constructed to allow for flat areas for easy coral placement and as much floorspace as possible . Comments and critiq,s welcomed,thanks Paul

Looks really nice Paul, is that Marco rock and epoxy? When are you going to make your own?

Looking forward to following your build, you know we love cubes.

Thanks,I used PVC to make the structure and then zip tied and fishing lined Marco rock around it. I used a dremel cut off wheel to hollow out the Marco so it would fit tight against the PVC . I plan on using small pieces of live rock to seed and cover any attachments .

I would love to sculpt my own but am not sure of what to use and where/how to fire .

I do recall you two having a fondness for cubes ,can you post up a pic of the new one you just set up,plumbing and fts.

will it be BB?

I love the ledge.

I wish I had the patience. Back when i started Marco could not get any rock in and I didn't have the patience to wait! oh well.

Thanks,It will not be bb,I will have an inch or so of sand. I really tried to give it many flat branch/shelve areas for coral placement.
I will use some live rock pieces to fill in the little voids and seed it.
