what do yall think of my cave:

look ok wot u can see of it
not bad at all slate is it

 

[shortymet55]

Yea, its slate. I think it will do good for hiding of smaller fish. I want to make a similar one soon that is just as high, but goes much deeper. This one is like 2.5in high, but only 3 in deep (So only good for under 3" fish)

ok started to do another three to day same size 17cm and one at 23cm

so far cut out a hole in them and sanded them smooth took abt 30 mins started at 2.55pm and looked at clock at 3.20pm to do four holes and sanded them
and thinking of doing this putting couple on top of one another 2 or 3 or 4 high to save space in tank
pics will show them not sealent together yet


nex step is to seal them together with fish safe clear aquarium sealant

then dry them then put them in tank for my new bristlenose on tuesday

the towers look good or is that just for size reference only?

 

[seanie112]

there's 3 of the 17cm caves and 1 at 23cm cave

we have clued them together now and drying them out now then on tuesday or monday will be going in to mt wifes tank ready for the group of 4 bristlenose and the rest of pleco we have in the tank will have to make some bigger ones with follow pots and the trays for the bigger ones as we have L191 pleco and couple other pleco that will not fit in the caves that we have made took around 75 mins from the start to the end for the four that we have made today

They would be good for cichlids aswell.

 

[seanie112]

yes could be use for the small ones tho as theres not much room in side great for the bristlenose

just waiting for them to dry going to put them in tank on monday or tuesday

 

[Sarette]

They look great! I am very tempted

 

[seanie112]

size reference only every one but am thinking abt having them like a tower in my tanks to save space

would look nice in any tank i think !!
