litigator666 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Anybody know where I can source this stone stock? Been looking at it for months now and the closest I can get are real one (stones) and quite heavy to mount on a wood to enclose my tank's stand - need it for just the aesthetic effect. Anybody have connections on those business doing shopfronts and displays on malls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litigator666 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) thanks guy, but need the "fake one" not real stones. like plastic/polycarbonate/fiberglass or similar. Prefer not heavy as I'll stick it on a board and held on the stand by Velcro. It's more for the looks.

litigator666 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 i can only cut and glue it in place. not handy as well. You may be thinking the rockwall made of styro that goes inside the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey2277 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Can you keep us informed of prices, looks like a great product Sent from my RM-821_apac_australia_new_zealand_218 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litigator666 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 cost is $100 +GST per panel (600mmx1200mm), plus glue, plus corners, plus shipping. based on the size of stand, i'll need about 7-8panels just to cover an "L" shape area. I'll be doing the cutting and gluing as well and will need board/ply to stick them. I may need to do costing and look up other options available.

litigator666 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Revisiting this one. Any creative member here who can build me a fake rock panel out of styro? Dont need to be fishsafe as will be outside anyway. Need it to be strong and realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smicko Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 The best I've seen are made by Steve baines, you could call or go and see him at down stream in annerley. Cheers mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litigator666 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Will visit him and ask if he would be able to help out. Ive been looking at youtube but i prefer for someone with experience and artistic creativity to do it. I have added a fountain/waterfall on top of the tank to mark the 3rd year anniversary of the rebuild. Just need the stand covered to complete it.
