ive had a tank setup for over 2 years with a BG in it and no problem with a “bleach leak”…as far as color they make a concrete dye in various colors at the same place concrete is sold

not quite sure what “garfing” a rock is ?

thats interesting?
i have just a few questions though?
why is it that when i garf rock it takes forever to get the ph down? at least 1 month in fresh, then more time in salt.

not sure you would get the same effect on the outside, but you might have to make it in 2-3 diff sections for a 260L

Nice job! Any suggestions how to this for 260L tank…? Would it be possible to do it outside the tank?
