DIY Rock Cave

Skeletor18

Just got into hobby and have a 55 gallon tank I spent last 3 weeks cycling and ready for fish. I did some DIY rock caves out of a plastic 16 oz cup with GE Silicone I and wanted to share

hey
what a fab idea to keep them all together,thank you for sharing.
let us know if the fish like them.

They like it! I added some yello labs and acei and it works well for them

great,i thought no fish would turn down a place like that to hide.

What type of glue did you use and how do you make sure its not toxic to the fish?

There is aquarium silicone or you can go to Home Depot and Purchase for like $5 GE Silicone I. It has to be GE I as it doesn't have any anti mold chemicals that can harm fish

Good to know! Thinking about doing some Rockscaping for my 55 Gal tank

Glad to help. It has to be let to dry (cure) for 24 hours. I had to use a razor to cut the plastic off.

Looks like it turned out great. Any pics of it in the tank?
