Witfull...

2 of my fav fish...the Tusk and Sohal! Gorgeous!

And, nice idea with the blocks! I've thought about this but people have always told me that the blocks would leach chemicals into your tank? You've had no kinds of problems with them??

Re: Show me your full tank shots!!!

none so far, the only thing i heard bad was pH spike due to the cement, but i cured them in vinigar water for awhile before putting them in. and they are true cement blocks not cinder block.

Re: Show me your full tank shots!!!

Very cool! Thanks!

Do you remember aprox. how long you cured them in the vingar water?

I've been trying to come up with different ways to stack more rock...or, more specifically, to give my current rock a more "filled out" look. I've contemplated buying more base rock (which I dont want to do), using black milk crates, cut to different sizes, and concrete block.

Re: Show me your full tank shots!!!

2 weeks in a 1/3 solution of vinigar, the a week in RO, 100% change once. i have seen the milk crate thing done, but felt it to flexible and subject to sagging with weight and time.
