Vids of my Brackish now.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I just fixed, or at least I hope. I just put links up instead.
 
I made the roots from a water safe epoxy mix called Apoxie Sculpt I believe. The stuff gets rock hard when it dries, is non toxic and completely water tight. I basically applied the stuff on drinking tubes and formed them as I was going.

I'll be doing another LARGER brackish tank and will have a much more elaborate and more realistic root system using this stuff. The fish LOVE swimming through the 'roots'.

wat type of paint did u use to color the roots?
 
The epoxy comes in a variety of colors. Brown was one option. The green on the roots is algae that grew on the structures. Before introducing the scats, the algae was bushy, now it sits nice and trimmed and moss-like.
