Steve973 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I received my shipment of dry rock yesterday. It looks fantastic and it's super clean, other than some dust which is no big deal. All of the pieces arrived unbroken, too. I bought the 30 lb box, and I'll be setting the rock up in an Innovative Marine Nuvo 16. I think the pieces will be a little bit too big for my tank if I want to make an interesting and non-vertical rock scape. What can I do at this point? Thanks, Steve Link to comment
natalia_la_loca Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Get yourself a hammer and chisel, some goggles and some loud music and bust some rocks Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Get yourself a hammer and chisel, some goggles and some loud music and bust some rocks All of this. Though a center-punch tool works far better than a chisel. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Mayhew-Punch-Set-3-Piece-89082/100159163 Also, the best stuff for bonding rock would be emaco. You can PM jestersix on the forum and ask him to sell you a kit, it's cheap and gets really awesome results really quickly John, if you're reading this, you should totally look into selling Emaco/Acryl-60 kits.

jedimasterben Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Rock Hammer > Chisel and hammer Those look awesome, though less control than a hammer and punch. Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 But that would obliterate the rocks and all we'd be left with is powder sand Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Good enough for a sand bed! Link to comment
ClownTriggerDude Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Throw them against a wall ! This type of rock is easy to break and aquascaping. I would place them in a container to rinse them well with R/O water and a powerhead, before placing the rock in the display. Link to comment
