    I know the rock is cycled, but gotta wait like 10 days, just to be sure.

    Loving the aquascape as well! What did you do to piece it together, epoxy and rods?

    Thanks RN! I had this rock piece for a while now, the bonding mortar from MarcoRocks is what i used, just like Alex mentioned. Its SOLID. Rock will give in before the bonding does. And you don't need a lot.

    Right on, Im actually playing with some dry rock figuring out how I want it set, I might look into this if I can't get it right with rods and epoxy. Looking good!
