Marco's New Rocks

I'd be worried it would come loose and cause a rockslide. Definitely would make sure it's secured.

 

I'd use 3m's 5200 or Sikiflex to bond it with. These two are pretty bullet proof, but I have no idea how reef safe they are.

Awesome idea, why didn't I think of that...

Why why why was this not available last week.. Blah!

 

How would one go about cutting the rock? I have scoured the internet looking for carbide tipped bandsaw blades, but cannot find anything difinitive stating that it will cut rock. Trying a Quickie saw might be a little overkill...ending up with dust.

 

Another new product that makes the wheels turn inside the head.

 

My brother has his own masonry business, and has several gas powered stone cutting saws. They are very similar to a circular saw, but use a different type of blade (not the standard carbide-tipped blade), and are quite a bit larger. Cuts through concrete like it's butter.

Here one pictured on the website I linked to:

That is a quickie saw...I mentioned that above...overkill for a reef rock. I have used them before and yes, concrete doesn't stand a chance...but with a small rock, clamping it, and cutting it with that would be more hassle than it is worth. Although, I did think about a tile saw, and wondered if that would work.

 

problem with the rock on the wall...i made a rock wall that glued on like this...i had a eunicid worm back there...had to take the whole tank apart....a clown goby got stuck back there...there was not getting it out...that worm was as you know tiny so it found a way in...other then that i loved it for the small zoa frags i would place on it and stuff

 

Id like to get a few pieces of the wall rock pieces to give the back of the aquarium some depth. I dont think id trust silicone tho. I have used this stuff to secure some eggcrate around a drain in a refugium that was a year old and did it with water in the tank. The stuff is amazingly strong....cant imagine it would have a hard time holding some pieces of rock to the back of glass.

wish this was around a few months ago when i was starting up the new tank!
