I am hoping to create a natural yet designed reef tank. Aquascaping is a big priority. As will be the choice of animals. But I am taking it very slowly.
One can easily drill dead base rock, but are there consequences to drilling live rock? Also, is it better to use glue, ties or both?
(PS. I was wonder if any knew much about color theory here. Its a favorite subject of mine and I think it could influence how tanks are designed. Just by grouping corals, for example, blue acros on one side and green montis on another, an interesting, unified design is created. Add texture, types etc. and a whole aesthetic universe can be orchestrated) |
Yes, you can drill
live rock as well. I've had pretty good luck with cable ties, but make sure you use the black, or UV-protected, cable ties. The white ones will eventually get brittle and break. I've taken my
live rock out and fastened several together to get the look that I want....works pretty good.
