I had made a garden wall going back using bathroom wall ceramic tile that I had got from Home Depot

I use natural slate, marble and granite to make my breeding caves with. I've tried limestone as well which did harden the water. Ceramic tile is fine also.

Cool idea !

I took a quick look, you can get some Flintstones ornaments on Ebay. Not sure how aquarium safe they are.

Maybe they could be covered with some kind of clear marine coating.

For creating structures, if you're fairly handy, maybe Google DIY Aquarium backgrounds. I'm sure the basic materials would be the same.

Edit - Forgot to add, Amazing aquascape on that tank Chem !

Yep, some styrofoam and concrete would work. Just cut out pieces of styrofoam and silicone them together to form your structure then coat it with concrete. The problem would be adhering it to something on the bottom of the tank so that it doesn't float.

Such creative people we have here! Anything to do with a rock or slate would look awesome for that theme, be it fake or real. I've also had my Son and a neighbour silicone small beach rocks to clean plastic pots to make caves (my neighbour has an aquarium too - it wasn't child slave labour, honest! :laugh: ). They had a blast doing it. I had them wear latex gloves as the silicone can be an irritant and the area should be well ventilated. Supervision is a must, obviously, and it's not for very young children.

Chem, you are a wonder with aquascaping. :notworthy:
