MR Rock,,,

[Bob 1000]

Okay so I have been making my owns rocks for a while now.. I like the fact that my rocks have some well needed qualities that live rock can't do, not to mention I'm doing my part to slow the destruction of the worlds coral reefs.. I thought of a new idea a while back and I finally got to put it into play today...
For manhattan reefs i decided to make the first rocks of this type.. I like this forum and it was the first i joined...
Thanks for viewing my new project..

Ok Tobin we seriously need to talk!!!! You obviously have way to much free time on your hands :lol2:

Nah all kidding aside I have seen a piece of rock he made and it looks great. So when are you going to make me my piece??? :scratchch

 

[Domboski]

LMAO! You're crazy dude....

That is bad ass! I can't wait to see someone put that in their tank and cover it with zoanthids.

I think it would be poetic justice if you did it
How about growing the official MR Kiwi Zoa all over it?


...and Tobin, you definitely have too much free time on your hands...lol

I would only put this in a 125 or bigger system because it would raise the ph over 9.2.. Which never killed anything in my tank but it just sounds crazy.. I had 10.2 ph for a whole year one time with no problems.. I didn't have coral in my tank at the time though..

This will be ready for my sump in 1 week then 3 weeks until it's covered in coralline algae.. Then it's on the new owner on what will cover this rock acros table topping, Zoanthids, acans, or placed in some ones RO bucket to keep their ph up on their top off and make up water like me, there are multiple possibilities...

As for time, yeah I have had a lot of time these last 2 weeks... It's always like this this time of the year then right before thanks giving I'll get busy again..
I'll post pics of when it comes out of hibernation and hits the water... Then when it hits my sump for some color... Then if you want it Josh it's yours..

Thanks for looking people..

I just so happen to have a 9" by 7" slab that I have had in my tank for a long time that the ph is stabilized on... But it has a purple rim green cap on it... I could brake it of if you want Harry..

Let me check and see how the Real Estate looks in the tank. It might be to big even if you break it. You forget that my tank is way smaller than your gargantuan tank:lol2:

 

[Bob 1000]

Okay let me know,,lol..

 

[Bob 1000]

Fresh out the box..

Okay the kids woke us up early so I decided to check on the rock and it was done.. Well almost done just not total dried, but hard enough to move to ro water to cure(become hard enough to got into the sump and not crumble)..

Nice Tobin!

You should team up with Wingo and make a serpent type monster that has red waterproof LED's for eyes and cover the body with neon green gsp..

 

[Bob 1000]

Lmao.. Maybe if it benefits my tank

 

[DontXtripNfall]

LOL I'm sure it would look cool in the sea grass.

Hey Bob,
Great work. Could I get you to make me a rock?
Sending a PM now

 

[Bob 1000]

Pm replied..

 

[Bob 1000]

Slab rock with built in holes for ora frag disk.. Perfect size.. This piece will hold 5 frags, and is 9"x10".. Future top 5 piece(Acro) holder...

 

[Bob 1000]

Past pieces, finished

This rock was made a couple of months ago... But this is an idea of finished rock of mine, for those that don't know..

 

[Bob 1000]

Almost ready for the tank.. I have it in a bucket in RO water stiffening up for about 2days,,lol..
