    Default Handmdae rock pipe cave for your monster

    made it for my 11" blk ghost knife and it went in after few mins

    plumbing pipe from Rona and some small landscaping rocks with aquarium safe silicon will do.

    i also drill some holes on the pipe so you can put you airstone in to make some nice looking bubbles

    That's pretty cool and look a heck of a lot safer than most things they sell.

    thats so simple and no fussing with knocked over rocks or anything. i might just have to make a frew or one big one with diffrent bends and entryes. then put more loss rocks around it to cover the fact its a pipe and make it look more real.

    What an excellent idea, rsxed. I can see why your fish love it. Will you be making any more for them?

    don't think i will be making any anymore as it takes lots time to get the rock fit neatly and glue it.

    If next time i gonna make it i will put silicon all over the area and then spray finer pea gravel on it. Way faster.
    That was actually what i planned to do but did not have pea gravels on hand so.....

    Yes, I think it would be quicker to get coarse gravel and just smear silicone on the pipe and then roll the pipe on the gravel. Individually rocks would be too time consuming. Looks great though.
