SRC Member LaW Posted May 12, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 12, 2011 epoxy an platform made of epoxy, high chance need superglue aid or use magnet holder/cleaner as these are on the back or side of the tank, they dun receive much light as compared to the center. so take note of that. Quote 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. || Tank: 78" x 30" x 30" || Sump: 48" x 22" x 20" || Lights: PowerModule 10 X 80W|| Returns: 2 x HF32 || || Skimmer: BubbleKing Supermarin 300 || Wavemaker: 3 x 6100 & 1 x 6200, 2 x Wavebox 6212, WavySea || || FR: 2 x FR150 || NR: Sulphur Denitrator || CR: RM Custom Made 8" || KR: Deltec KM500 || TopUp: Tunze Osmolator 3155 || || UV: Coralife 12X 36W || Ozonizer: Sanders C200|| Controller: GHL Profilux Plus II Ex || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherman Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Bro, I think the green and red monti are super grower. The lime green grow at a slower rate. This is what I see in my tank.

SRC Member stevenchia Posted May 18, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 18, 2011 You can use small pieces of rocks to glue on the magnet to break the shape of the magnet.

Sometime u just wanna rescape ur tank..then Ahh....cant take it off.. If u use a magnet u can shift to any location.. Another way, u can use another method of mine, use a plastic and hang it on the wall..

It looks more natural to glue it on the glass wall ! 1 Quote Knowing is not enough; we must apply.

thairun Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 im experimenting first will glue the actual frag on tank wall cheers Just a word of reminder, IMHE I had face a problem when a small chunk of monti fell off from the wall just because I glued on encrusted coraline algae on glass. They not strong to sustain the weight when monti grown up. What I mean clean and prepare well the surface of glass panel from any algae/slims. Am having no problem now with a rubble of pulsing Xania that sick on glass wall. Good luck buddy!

SRC Member tunicate Posted May 19, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 19, 2011 How about a rock wall? This way, you can have as many monti as you like on it. Plus, it'll look more natural. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1804186 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member stevenchia Posted May 27, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 27, 2011 may i know what magnet are you using? strong enough to hold a rock, amazing i just using a normal cleaning magnet for my 5 mm glass. I break open the magnet, throw away the cover and seal it again with silicon. Then attach it with rock with glue, u need to find a rock which is light and so magnet can be hidden inside.
