	My cave
bonny Ultimate Fish Guru Engineer in waiting Posts: 3121 Kudos: 498 Votes: 7 Registered: 09-Mar-2003	Maybe this belongs in photo booth? If so can a mod move it? Anyways I had a flash of inspiration and a tube of silicon, lol. I went scouting for pebbles and when I had found the ones I want I cleaned them up (boiled them once for 10 mins, rinsed them, boiled them again for 10 minutes) And started piecing them together to make this cave. http://www.geocities.com/bonny_aka_fatboy/cave.htm So what does everybody think of it? Any tips/advice. I don't know what stones they are but I plan on using it in a hard water aquarium so It shouldn't adversely affect water quality.

I have a few rocks I've siliconed together in a similar manner....only thing I'd sugges looking out for, is that there are sometimes weak bonds between the rocks, I've had a few come apart on me when I tried to move them. ^_^

I'm going to add that project to my list of things to do when I'm bored. THanks for the inspiration -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

bonny Ultimate Fish Guru Engineer in waiting Posts: 3121 Kudos: 498 Votes: 7 Registered: 09-Mar-2003	Yeah i'll have to try that, have to test the rocks first to see if they will affect my PH and I also have to find some java moss first
