With THESE Hands!!!

[jag123]

I used two items to make this. Drinking tubing you buy at hardware stores (in various widths) and an epoxy that is water proof and safe.

The sand is play sand. Cleaning it was a pain in my tail. I'm going to add some darker sand, I want a muddy look. Right now, this is too bright.

Thanks Tanyoberu.

i like that idea or i think going with a couple dozen real bamboo stalks. either way it looks really good.

I don't know how bamboo would hold up completely submerged and the effects live plants would have in this case since it's a brackish tank. During the life of this tank, it's going to get very close to Full SW strength to keep the Scats, the Eel and the Sharks healthy.

But if bamboo doesn't have any negative effects, that would rock.

i was thinking more just cutting the stalks and drying them out, not physically trying to grow them lol

but no doubt that will be a nice sw tank.

any pics from during the build?

That is amazing waiting for DIY instructions for you, I have wanted to do that for a while, now you need some archers, or maybe Puffers!!!
