Rock wall background

[Mr_Banana_Pants]

I was just curious for my 75 gal build, anyone who has built a rock wall for the background of your tank, is it worth it? And how did you do it? Pics would be great

Thanks!

Feel free to ask away if you're considering a foam wall.

Is it better to build a foam wall or build it with dried live rock... I was thinking love rock so I could put some corals on it eventually... add a different element of depth

Who says you can't do a foam wall with dry rock and corals?



The entire wall will become one big live rock over time, like any dry rock.

Thanks! This tank is a little over 2 years old now.

The great thing about the foam is you can insert frags and plugs anywhere into the foam. Just jab it on in. Lol

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with it. Can't wait to get the rest of my needed equipment and put water in it

I tried loading part one of your videos and I couldn't get it to work from the thread or directly on YouTube

Hmmm. I will check in a few.

Just checked and they were each working for me in both YouTube and the direct link in the thread.
