That's It, You're Outa Here!

[Lord Zogat]

Ok the culprit rusting slate got yanked out of the bridged tanks. I was sad to see it go, it looked so nice in there.

The replacement, which I thought was a good idea at the time, was plastic rock textured lawn edging. I cut it up into more natural shapes.

So I stick it in the water, and...wait for it.... it floats to the top.

Son of a fish!

Ok now I have to weight the bad boys all down with rocks. So with a completely soaked arm, paint leg and socks, I finally have it in there, hope it stays.

Good thing...if the fish move it, it floats out of their way.

Here is the new "plastic rock", what do you think?

i have to say it looks much to natural....

let some green algea on and maybe it'll cover it up... perhaps replace thos rocks with moss balls...

Too natural?? The Grey plastic rock that is? Heh

 

[insanityseeker]

why couldnt you get real slate?

 

[Dubby]

That looks cool. I am reminded of Star cities in these futuristic movies

I think you better get some shades for the fish that are gonna live in there - kinda psychadelic

The real slate I had had high iron content and rusted. Its appeal was it was paper thin and had almost no weight compared to the usual slate.

I could get normal slate, but wasn't interested in the heavy thick stuff. If I can find normal slate thats thinner say 1/4 - 1/2 inch, sure I'll swap it out.
