CrushtheTurtle Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 hahah yeah big rocks for a small tank indeed =P, but i do like the middle biggest one i hope it will act as a nice shelf! annd i wasnt really sure how to break up the rock haha, maybe with a hammer? but i dont even have one on me.

Reef Diver Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I had to take a chisel and hammer to my rocks. If you do decide to break them up try puncturing holes along the break you are trying to create, not perfect by any means but better than hammering the rock wildly You've got a good start though!

If you do decide to break them up try puncturing holes along the break you are trying to create, not perfect by any means but better than hammering the rock wildly Reef Diver is correct on the best way to handle it. This is similar to how rock is removed to make way for roads. If you can, drill a few holes along your desired line, and then smashy-smashy. This will get you close to what you are looking for and tends to work better than just randomly smashing the rocks. Link to comment
CrushtheTurtle Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 i think the big rock is starting to grow on me and for some reason it jus looks different in real life than in the pictures. Or do yall think its really ugly?? i know its my tank so it should be whatever i find appealing but i do appreciate the opinions Link to comment
evokid511 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 it is your tank so whatever you find apppealing is your call haha but i love the bottom work and the big rock as a shelf looks just like my set up but then the big round rock just doesnt seem in place there haha but thats just me Link to comment
