where did you get the dragon stone from?

Mostly LFS In The Netherlands

Very impressive already m8 :thumbup: how long did it take picking the right size rocks and breaking them up to get such a great looking hardscape? they look so tightly packed and natural :clap:

Thanks Bro. :D I just had a large collection to pick from which really helps.
 
Where are you gonna fill the eleocharis? Into the sand in the front?

What is the goal of the cigaret filter?

Yes but only some details.

The filter method is for combining hardscape together, works really well. See more info about this in the video below
 
Do you have to use the liquid type superglue or can you use gel? How strong is the bond when cured?

Friend told me the liquid type is probably better than gel. I don’t know Why exactly Maybe the liquid type goes easier into the cig filter. It gets really hard when its cured. I can no longer move the stones.

Filipe Oliveira uses the liquid super Glue and a mix of AS crumbled to glue DW to rocks, worked well in his live demo I went to see all DW stayed down as he had it flooded in a few hours later

I used this method in my last 80 cm rescape for stones and wood. Works good but not as firm as the cig filter method.
