Alexervin239 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Should be getting my nuvo fusion 10 in the mail tomorrow. Anybody have suggestions on how to aquascape in a small cube? Most of the build threads I see seem to do the one rock in the center look and I want a little more creativity. Any ideas? Link to comment
teenyreef Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Break up big rocks into littler rocks and glue them together the way you want them. Here's what mine looked like before I took all the rocks out for cleaning. 2016-08-18 IM10 FTS by TeenyReef, on Flickr Here's a really old picture that shows what the rocks looked like when I first made the scape: 016 by TeenyReef, on Flickr Link to comment
Alexervin239 Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Okay cool I'll try that. Presumably a screwdriver and a mallet should be enough to break them up. What do you glue them with? Link to comment
teenyreef Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Okay cool I'll try that. Presumably a screwdriver and a mallet should be enough to break them up. What do you glue them with? That's exactly how I broke mine up. Depending on how strong you want the joints, you can use superglue gel, or a superglue/epoxy/superglue sandwich, or you can use emarco mortar. I just used lots of superglue gel - if you glue it up out of the water it will be pretty strong. I don't recommend doing the way I did, which was to glue every rock to every other rock. It was nice and strong, but it also meant I could never pull the rocks out to clean them and to clean the sand underneath. Mine are all jumbled up right now, but I plan to reglue them in interlocking modules so that I can take them back out in big chunks. PS: check in over in the IM10 owners club thread if you haven't already, so we can check out your tank! Link to comment
Alexervin239 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 I posted a build thread in the AIO section, not sure if thats the right area. Do you have a link to the thread? Thanks! Link to comment
