Here’s an example of one I will use as inspiration. All the ones I’ve seen though use dry rock due to I’m sure the ease of super glue, mortar, etc. but all three of my tanks have been aquacultered rock that I LOVE so I’m hoping to find someone that’s done an NSA scape with it and provide some direction on what products work best

You’d probably need some branching rock from tampa, maybe epoxy it underwater?

I am not against going completely one way or the other or a mix of both - From what I see online we all eventually end up somewhere in the same range for bacteria mix in the long term.

I was not able to vote on the poll though as the choices are not reflective of the poll question.

My current idea on it is use some dry rock to get the basic structure glued and cemented together, let it cure out of water for awhile then use the Aqua Forest Stone fix (supposed 15 minuet cure time) and some zip ties to put some smaller pieces on it. We will see I will make a build thread and document the journey as I go

Gotcha.
Lots of epoxy! You can do a little at a time. It can really tick off your skimmer. lol

I went more minimal on mine this time but its a cube so don't really have the room for separate structures. It's more of. a tower with space for fish to swim through and hide in.

Love that! I have a 30 gallon cube with all aquacultered rock that has a structure similar to yours. Love yours!!
