That is really well done. Great idea and great execution.

My only issue would be can you scrub it? I imagine urates/feces are going to be hard to get off it.

It would be cool if you could cut out a deli cup sized hole in one of the flat rocks for a waterbowl holder.

I wonder if you could find someone to vacuum form a plastic mold of this? If you could and you could make it fit the aquarium, you could probably sell a few of these.





Thanks,

I have actually had a chance to clean urates/feces off of it and so far it has not been a problem. The surface is sealed well enough that liquids don't soak in. If it's dried on, I just brush off what I can, and then gently scrub with a damp paper towel or an old toothbrush. If it's not dry, well, it just kind of wipes off. I applied extra thick layers of sealant to places that I knew were likely to get pooped on. If the sealant wears off in these areas, I can always apply more. It's definitely more high maintenance to clean than aspen or newspaper, but that's the price of have something that is a little more asthetically pleasing.



I have a store bought fake rock water dish that I took out of the cage for picture taking purposes to avoid spills, but yours is a good idea too. I'm also in the process of making a humid hide out of a plastic box, that hopefully will look like stone.



So many projects, so little time...
