I’ve seen a lot of RUclips channels on scaling rocks by far. You are the first to explain in detail and so as you’re doing it how it can turn out and how good it holds up that you put together thank you very much. MAN
This is by far the best most informative video I’ve ever seen on scaping and I’ve seen loads, Your scape is awesome I really am going to try this for myself, thanks for this uploads and I can’t wait until your next one, thanks again from Scotland 🏴, see you soon
Thank you so much for the amazing comment! Im glad it has inspired you to try too! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask and I'd love it if you could share with your local reefing groups! Lets banish the old school rock walls haha
Awesome mate! Your boy is picking this youtube thing up fast. This video is the best I've seen on this... like the detail is epic - if I ever make another scape I'm gonna do it for sure incorporating in some liverock ;)
Can’t say the outcome looks natural, but appreciate the techniques which have gone into this, currently researching for my first tank, can’t wait to get my hands on some rock!!,
@@omarcadenas9 that thought really crossed my mind for my new cade frag tank but i do want to share how to run a frag system too so will start there! Buttr you never know when itll turn into a shallow reef with mangroves and pipefish 😅
Great job! It does not look like you stole anything from BRS. Give yourself some credit. I don't know how you popped up on my feed, but I'm glad you did! Excellent info! I'm going to take some of your video mixed with the information from BRS and see what happens! Thanks again!
That looks fantastic! I was worried about the structural strength of these types of rock scapes but you have put my mind at ease. I was planning on following the instructions of BRS nsa but yours looks much faster, easier, cost effective and actually stronger than using gel glue. Great camera man too!
Think this is the most detailed and best rock scape build video I’ve seen, I wonder if you could find out how to colour it purple like the CaribSea Life Rock, that would be amazing 👌
Thank you so much I really appreciate the comment! Please share with your local reefing groups to hopefully inspire others looking to do a different scape. To colour it purple you would just crush down carbisea life rock and use it as the final dusting once you've finished glueing
You'll need some very fine coral sand, acrylic paint and a paint roller. Mix 3 colors, first a light brown and paint the whole rock. Blow a bit of coral sand onto the still wet paint so it will stick. Let dry. Then mix a dark purple and paint again (but not the entire rock) and again blow a bit of coral sand into the wet dark purple. Let dry. Finally mix a light purple for the highlights.
How do you flatten the rock that way, or did you buy it like that? Do you know the best way to flatten a rock without it crumbling in pieces? I would assume like a Sanding belt or bandsaw but would like to know the best way to get the rock flat like the ones you have in this video.
Bro I am setting up a 40 gallon breeder all in one DIY my first time ever building tank as far as filtration inside love this scape it would be perfect for what I want I am going for a frag system/display Tank! Words cannot describe how I feel about this scape! If I need any advice can I please reach out to you thank you for the video. Amazing! PS I love the commentary from the young one and I did exactly as he said subscribe
Those aqua scape is awesome. But I could never lift something this size. Can you do one doing them in sections so they can be easily moved around and lifted by some unfortunately like me with a now bum shoulder.
Has been in the tank around 6 months now and have had no deterioration at all 😊 Many people i follow who use this method have had their scapes in the tank for years and they still hold up fine!
@@firsttimereefertv1588 thanks man … just thinking about setting up my first reef and the stacks rocks of old doesn't look good. if I do decide to go ahead going to do something like this
Thanks David. This is the best video demonstrating this method that I have watched so far. So keen to give it a go. Have the proreef S2 1500 coming next Wednesday so you know it’s on. If I have no FB or Insta account how can I get some of that glue off you?
Only just found this video, just in time as I’m about to start a new reef tank, excellent video, where do you get that glue from in Australia or do you recommend another brand
AWESOME video!!!! until i cameacross your videoI had a different plan. You helped a mate from other side of the world!!!! how many bottle of glue did you use?
Oh thanks mate! So glad its inspired you 🙌🙌🙌 For this scape I used about 20 bottles of glue! The axia was incredibly difficult to find so ive sourced my own brand and works just as well!
Would like more detailed information on what kinds of rock you used and the glue. I am planning a 40 breeder and want something like this but I am guessing it’s just a mixture of shelf rock and Marco rocks?
Hey mate! All the details are in the video but the rock is marco rock “base rock” and “shelf rock”. The glue is a thin viscosity cyanoacrylate glue. Are you based in the states?
i am planning on doing this for my 15g peninsula waterbox build! i am about to buy the marco rock from BRS. How many pound of rock will you think i need to create a nice size negative space centerpiece for the tank?? also since the tank is so small do you think i can get away with just superglue or will i need the epoxy/mortar as well ?
Fantastic you will love the marco rock! I would think 2 pound of base rock and 2 pound of shelf rock should be more tha sufficient. If you use the method i shared in this video you wont need mortar or epoxy!
@@firsttimereefertv1588 your saying I only need 4 pounds of rock no way that is way to little lol ... I was going to buy 20 lbs of rock with a medium size foundation piece. Is 20lbs to much ? Maybe I should go 15lbs?
Gosh, it looks amazing and so easy and fast to set. I've been having trouble to use AF stone fix probably this method suits me better. Thank you so much, looking forward to try myself!!!!!
Hey David, your aquascaping is really inspiring me. I’m having two pieces of big Macro boulders in the tank for about 5 months and I really want take them out to do a better structure, my question is, is that safe to do so? Does your method will suit for wet rock glue?
Thank you so much! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! I would love if you could share with your local reefing groups to hopefully inspire others!
First Time Reefer TV I will share on a few groups mate. I’m actually still considering doing a re scape on my tank after watching this video . By the way love the fact you get your son involved with the build it’s been great watching, future reefer right there 😎
DB’S Reef * thanks much appreciated mate! You totally should as you can see its incredibly easy to create nice scapes! Yes im getting hkm started nice and young and he absolutely loves being in the videos so ill keep him around as a camera man 😂
I am planning to use river rocks for my first aquascape. Can I crush the same river rock to make powder like you did. If not are there any alternatives? BTW I love your works.
Good luck on your scape! Unfortunately i dont think the river rocks will work as itll require an aragonite base. You could try an aragonite sand amd sprinkle that on the rock joints and see if it sticks?
How dry does the rock need to be. I'm curing some old rock from an old tank and was going to try this method but didn't know if the rock needed to be super dry.
@@firsttimereefertv1588 yeah i see the watery glue is best when using the crushed rock as your bonding media. Hell of a job, i will be doing this over the weekend, thanks!
@@firsttimereefertv1588 just ordered some glue. Had to order on Amazon. The local places didnt have watery glue. I already mortared everything and it is strong. I am going to use the glue and powdered rock to cover the mortar so I don’t have to see it. Should look awesome!
I’m scaping with live rock that I’ve collected over the years from my reef club that I’ve kept cycling. Anyways, trying to do this wet makes me want to throw up🤢🤮😂. But, it’s turning out so nice!!!! Thank you for this video!! Also, I don’t have any shelf rock😔
Hello David! New subscriber here! How’s the scape doing now? I just built one and was a little worried about the long term durability. How’s it going? Thanks!
@@theupstateangler oh! Than from Tidal Gardens has a video on the best glues appropriate for this in the US! Please leave a comment on their video saying I reccommended you to watch theirs 😅😅😅 Goodluck with your scaping!!
Great content man, but I have a question. Super glue supposedly deteriorates in saltwater over time. I think that's why they suggest gluing and puttying frags if you want them to stay in place (because eventually the glue gets worn down and loses its effect). Do you know if the same will happen here? Is there anything about the chemical reaction that prevents that deterioration?
Thanks mate! This process I feel is completely different to glueing frags. With frags the glue consistency is thicker which therefore means the purity is lower as there has been a thickening agent added. The glue is use is 97% pure cyanoacrylate and it wicks into the powder that cause a chemical reaction to set. Unlike coral glue that stays as a blob of glue. Im confident over time that there will be no issues but will certainly report if there are any! I know other have used this method and their scape is still rock solid 4-5 years on. I question if putty would even last that long without cracking!
@@mrschnigglepoo Than at Tidal Gardens made a video about all the glues suitable to use in the States! Please check it out and leave a comment on their post saying i sent you 😅 let me know if you cant find the video ☺️
Hey David how can I get you to get me some of that glue 😉 I need it ASAP for my aquascape. Need a box of it the 911 axia gold glue. Please let me know. Thank you.
