Yogie Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi Guys, I'm about to re-do the aquascaping in my tank and I was thinking about going bare bottom. I was a bit worried about placing the lava rock directly onto the surface of the glass. Currently the rocks are sitting on sand. Any suggestions? Thanks, Johann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanoz Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Put a piece of clear Perspex or some black vinyl underneath to protect it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 is the base tempered? either way, as long as its not all focusing on one point on the base, i would say it should work out fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
