Here's Design #1 - What do you think about this Back Left Corner - Light Grey - 40+ gallon rock?

[pyralis101]

For our first post, let me introduce our line of corner structures. To our knowledge these are first product in the market designed at 90 degree angles for the back corners of the tank.

Let us know if you like it, don't like, or we can improve on it.

This is a non-cave rock structure for the back left corner of the tank, in a light grey shale color.

It's a good idea.
I like the design, is it available in different sizes and colours?

i would think it is because you cannot find rocks of the same exact size and color

Haha I thought it was a resin mould.. is it actually rock then?

No it's not real rock. This explains what these structures are made of

We need your help with our designs!

Hello to the Fish Forums community. We are a private company with the mission of creating large aquarium rock structures, caves and platforms for serious aquarists. Our company came about as one of our founders purchased a 75 gallon tank, and couldn't find decorations large enough when...

make sure the edges are rounded off so fish can't injure themselves on the "rocks".

It's funny you say that. I wasn't happy with that part during the design phase either. I'm interested to see if other members have the same feedback.

Each product line, like this "Back Left Corner Flush - sandstone - 40+ gallon" has 6 models, and each model has 3 sizes (40+ gallon, 75+ gallon, and 150+ gallon). So there are actually 18 models in each product line - in this case, the back left corner flush product line. We'll be posting all of the designs weekly to get your feedback.

These are made with Resin (but feel just like real stone). Our designs are unique from resin products, because our textures are actually part of the rock (mixed with real rock). All the other resin products have the textures applied during the finishing/painting process. But as mentioned in my last post, there is a variety of sizes and colors (18 for this back left corner product line). We'll be posting a new one every week.

No, see my last post.

So in the images we are uploading, the rocks appear very small in the tank. It's important to remember that these structures are very large in reality, so the tips just appear to be jagged or sharper. In reality, every design is made with the edges in mind. They aren't approved until every edge is blunt enough for the fish.

Great minds think alike

Yup, we are careful about this.
