ABS/Slate DIY Cave
This is the first time I have attempted something like this, but I wanted to make a nice cave for the Apistos/Rams.
Here's the starting materials:
12x12 slate tile from Home Depot, some black silicone, a hammer and a 3-way ABS pipe fitting. I wanted to hide the ABS fairly well, and I plan on burying it partway into the sand for stability and camouflage.
Step one was the fun part. BREAK IT BREAK IT BREAK IT BWAHHAHAHAHA!!!
I found it tricky to make small pieces, the hammer just pulverized anything smaller than, say, three or four inches a side. As such, this thing turned out to be huge. It should not look insanely big since it will be next to the driftwood which is really massive.
I also didn't really get the ABS covered from the front perfectly, but it's not too bad depending on the angle you see it from.
Anyhow here is the final product, which is currently curing in the basement:
And from a lower perspective:
So, how does it look?
