Did you use coconut peat at the base to build up the height?

This must have taken some time and planning.

 

[Parthapratim]

I have used bricks to elevate.
Yes I gradually built individual structure. Then experimented on the tray.
Will do plantation tonight. Will update.

Good luck with the planting, enjoy.

Very interesting hardscape there, should look great planted.
I'm curious though, how did you join the rocks for the overhangs...drilled and pegged??

Please keep us updated

Sharing steps of making these structure...hope to hear from you, query welcome

Main bulky mother rock


Number 3 drill bit used


Holes made on two sides of main rocks, here shown on one of them


Close up


Through the cable tie, head should stuck one side


Another end shoul stuck with another cable tie


Closeup, these visible white sections can be covered with stone dust and BOND glue.


Single structure after finishing


And a full hardscape


BOND Glue and stone dust also used to make the structure more rigid.

Couldn't maintained the tank properly...not a good quality update , still couple of images

Wow a unique and alien hardscape! Tempting not to plant it at all!

Good luck with the algae but I think in your case, luck will play no part....
