    Thanks for info, gonna do a lil more research on this. In the meantime, is it safe to use Milliput to hold Wood and Rocks together? I had a blast using this stuff for reef aquascaping. Rob.

    hobby or obsession

    Whenever I begin researching ideas and setting up a tank it feels like an obsession, once it is up and running it becomes my hobby. Although when I had my SW Reeftank that was definitely an obsession throughout, a costly one at that. :lol:
