the acara rock wall and caves tank v2

Sometimes even the best plans spring a leak… literally.
In this video I build a brand-new Acara rock cave scape – but the tank for this project decided to develop a sneaky little leak, forcing an emergency repair before I could even start aquascaping.

Once the drama was under control, I headed down to a local creek to forage the hardscape – hand-picking rocks and shaping the whole look of the tank from natural materials. I also had a bit of fun with the filming on this one: multiple angles, different shots, and some creative editing to make it feel like someone else was behind the camera while I worked.

Back home, I take you through the full process: laying out the rock work, fine-tuning the caves and hidey-holes, and planting around the structure to create a natural home for my Blue Acara. By the end of the video, the scene comes together beautifully – a clean, bold rockscape that was just finished in time for this upload.
