theres where i learn my pegging from, most of my corals are pegged. bloody useful against bulldozer cleaners

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

for sure need to drill and for sure your bit will rust. but it wont rust infront of you

but only when its back in the closet.

Personally, I have not tried this method, but I'm planning to. Lawrence did a very good job with it (I could hardly tell if the hard airline tube is there!), and that reminded me of this video. Drill bits will definitely rust, so you might wanna buy something mid-range and prepare to discard it when you're done. Go trigger happy and drill all the rocks at one go lor! :superman:

An old video, but very useful method in mounting corals to the rock work. Keeps them in place, yet it allows free play for shifting easily if you're not happy with the position.

wow great method...

dont mind me asking,

the rock must be pre-drilled before its place into the tank?

Kiko. Yes. Must pre-drilled. And most importantly is to select the right location of the holes. That determines positions of ur corals.

:)

You have to go slow during drilling, otherwise, you'll risk breaking the rock apart.
