    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Well Mud not sure what I was expecting but it was a much older man. ::) Either way you're to be applauded for putting yourself out there.

    With some fine tuning both videos could probably be edited into one, but I think it's a great leaning tool.

    The cats are probably a fantastic audience.

    I can insert your youtubes into your post if you like, just let me know.

    :)

    Another video

    This video is about the progress after drilling holes and placing nylon rods and placing your rocks on the sculpture, not always a good idea to go too fast as you'll discover. Another issue creepedup the weight of the structure became a problem, what to do.

    Nice job on the videos Mud. I couldn't hear the last one real well. I love your cats coming in and around and no cats during drilling lol....it's nice that you showed when a problem occurs and how to figure that out. Watching these really makes me look forward to seeing your final tanks with their sculptures. You will have obviously put such thought and planning into this!

    Thanks i was suppose to edit than it was getting complicated then i said no i'll put it on like that and put them all in a series so people just have to follow the numbers , thats all why stress over this. I'm no pro at this anyway and the info is there. Yes those cats are my directors, who do you think is holding the camera, the other cat lol . I'll try to speak louder in the next videos lol. But i don't want to scare my cats.

    Sorry for the abrupt end of part 4 but i'm not a professional video maker,lol continuing in this one i've constructed a bigger support base to spread the load of the structure, and i'm starting to put the rocks in place with mortar. i also have little side projects on the go that will benefit the tank; a copepods farm using corrugated plastic sheet, found at any hardware store for a few bucks.I also mend a Tonga branch rock that will be used in the second sculpture project later on.
