I got a coconut cave with moss on for £1.50 at my LFS and my livebearer fry love it Slate caves can look great, look at this one

I just used aquarium safe silicone from my LFS.. ive ordered some more off ebay too
I sure will. I'm so obnoxious about everything, I'm sure I'll be posting pics EVERYWHERE. haha I love craft projects.
Hmm, does it have to be a special silicone?I'm using aquarium silicone took me ages to get some cheap...LFS wanted nearly £20 a tube!!!
Im liking this drilling into a rock idea....might pop to the Garden centre tomoz
Oh with the coconut start from the bottom and build up in layers(let the silicone dry first)
If any silicone, can I build a tank at home since my dad has a lot of silicone in a tube? All I'd need are some big pieces of glass to make a 1 foot tank. Carrying a 1 foot tank all the way home without a car would be nasty... X_X

it needs to be aquarium safe. but not specifically Aquarium. if you see what i mean.
most diy and boat shops will stock the stuff you need. at £5 for 310mm. its, always, clear, incidentally. and a lot less difficalt to find, than most state.
its a lot easer to carry a 1 foot tank, than build one. not to mention it will, probably, take more than one 310ml tube to do, even, a 1 foot tank.
drilling a rock, unless its sand or lime stone, is a specialist job. needing quite expensive diamond core tools. and a low speed drill.
but I'd be interested in the result

How do you carry a 1-food long tank with no car? Sure, we have a big bag, but the weight might be too heavy and it's hard enough convincing my mother to let me get a bigger tank in the first place. I'll have to pay for it whenever I get paid (so far still not paid X_X ). If my mom wants to spend MY money on clothes for me again, I'll get mad! X( I have a wardrobe full of clothes that I never wear (that could just go to the homeless for all I care).
