hey all,

After a disastrous first attempt, using small slate coasters, I decide to buy some floor tiles and try them.

Here is the first attempt, try not to laugh too hard, I even stuck the shattered bits back together :oops:

and here are the new caves, I made four caves approx 5"x2"x1"
and then I made a big cave for my 120gallon tank, which I thought I would share as I did it at the same time.

:oops: Ive noticed that I hadnt covered the back of the cave fully, does this matter? there is a ap at the top, if it is a problem I can cover them with silcone, or a small slither of slate.

Whats the views on that?

And thanks for the comments.

I have two more tiles left, so thats another eight of that size, but i may make some smaller ones, and also might try some fancy ones for some of my other tanks.

You will not see the back of the cave right? use silicon to fill.
