Elliot needs to invest in a 115mm diamond blade grinder,this will avoid a ton of wasted rubble and save on 10 tubes of glue!

That's what I use, and a hammer drill to drill holes and insert acrylic rods to connect pieces.

Wh do you guys spend so much time on creating huge rock sculptures? Just throw the rocks in the tank and that's it. In nature, there is no glue, no drilling no nothing.

The most appealing nano aquascape on youtube imo, I've searched and watched all of the nano scapes - after watching this, and Elliot's work is by far the best(as in nano rock foundation). The random rock shelfs make it look rather exotic. Hoping to see the new vid asap! I'm looking forward seeing where you strategically place the corals. This video inspired me to make a nano myself(beginner). Good job guys I've watched and learned a lot from your videos. Thumbs up from Toronto, Canada

Thanks for making this video. My one regret with my tank is that I did not do a fixed aquascape. My next tank will be different, and I plan on spending many, many hours doing this! Thanks again!

why not just use e-marco 400? you would be able to pull that entire structure out easily in a single piece and build a strong base.

man he made that look a lot harder than it should have been... could have accomplished the same look with med sized pieces... Turned out very nice no doubt. Biggest takeaway was using Putty to create Feet to balance the structure on the bottom after adding to the tank...#priceless tip. Looking forward to the 800 Gallon update! keep doing
what you do!

and if you push/tap a small piece of live rock on surface of those putties, you will get a more realistic surface on them too

I'm a fan of drilling holes in the rock and zip tying it to a 1/2 inch cpvc structure. Super stable and when it's finished you can't see and cpvc or the ties.

This was done with Real Reef Rock which is a synthetic man made reef rock. They were dry so there is nothing we need to QT.
