Premade aquascapes

[Richard the Reefer]

I'm not good at making cool stuff out of rocks. Does anyone know of an individual that makes scapes for sale. Or a site that does, but doesn't use concrete? I know marco rocks do but they don't have what I want in stock lol. appreciate any and all help! I am in the Ohio region BTW!

Thanks

Marco doesnt have what I'm looking for. The shelfs are cool, but a little to short. Appreciate the input though! Their big scape looks awesome but I doubt it would fit in my 40gb

I stand corrected. The cherrypicked is not assembled. But if I spent another $300 for rocks my girlfriend would murder me.

Are you any good with power tools?

https://aqua-tecture.com has some good looking rocks but they are brand new, I believe they just released them today. Definitely looks promising though.

I can do tools! Drills sawzall just dont know the right blades or bits. Gone through about 4 bit sets and 3 blades. What type do I need specifically?

According to the website they are clay and made to be very porous.

A mason blade and concrete drill bits.
The mason blade on a saw will give you flat cuts, and the crocrete bits will allow you to drill holed in the rock. I like to use short pieces of coat hangers to connect rocks together. And to top it off, use oatey fix it stick to secure them.

I dunno how clay would hold up??? Never heard of clay

Here is another rock scape that I made.
I used an acrylic bottom that hides under the sand bed to create a gravity defying aquacape.

Once again, oatey fix it stick played a big part in securing the rock scape and holding it together.

finally found a few pieces tonight and made this. Should be nice for some coral frags to sit! Will make a few other smaller pieces to accent it as well. The smaller is the new piece the large is my old one.

The girlfriend let me spend 60 tonight for 4 flat pieces at the coral farm.

You should have no problem with the hobby if your significant other loves the hobby as well

It makes it easy! Just not when she sees what the good stuff costs! And then I try and make the case as to why we must spend $500 bucks on one item!

Flipped the big one over added the small one. Her cave thingy is drying. You can see my very crappy fluval marine 2.0 light that I was an idiot for buying. Sorry if I am overposting I'm just excited. One step closer...
