    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

      @firsttimereefertv1588  4 года назад

    • @Harolddespui
      @Harolddespui 4 года назад

      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.

    Amazing scape! I was wondering though... do you need to use the crushed base rock you're using or can you crush standard base rock or dead live rock?

      I believe that this is the strongest way to form a bond but I think any aragonite material will also be suitable 😊

    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.

    • @firsttimereefertv1588
      @firsttimereefertv1588  4 года назад

      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?

  • @tylerl.4699
    @tylerl.4699 4 года назад +1

    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?

    • @firsttimereefertv1588
      @firsttimereefertv1588  4 года назад +3

      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!
