Attaching rock to glass

rc1626 · 11/21/2009, 10:15 PM

Anyone ever attach rock to glass? If so please share how. I thought it might be a neat way to add to aquascaping by some how attaching live or dead rock to the back wall of the tank. A piece here or there. Not too much, just enough to add some depth.

I though maybe if there was a way to attach acrylic rods to the back glass then you can drill out a hole in the rock and hang it on the rod. Just a thought.

Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

there is a company called mag-rock magnets or something like that. also you could get an old magfloat, superglue some rock to it and then put some corals on that. cheap, easy and you can move it around if you dont like it.

I have a DIY foam background. I can stick rods in it and hang rocks no problem.[IMG]
