If I can glue 10 oysters a day, I should be done with the aquascaping in a few weeks. I probably have at least 100-150 oysters that are ready to add to the reef. After the oysters, I will add some muscles and clams to the reef too that I've been gathering.

Each oyster once glued takes about 2 hours for the glue to set, and about five more before it is really sturdy. The hard part is positioning them the way that you want while also having a realistic fit to the reef. So it takes a fail amount of time. I'm not just slapping them together. My dream is to have this as realistic as possible once done.

Will the fish really care? Probably not. But, they'll feel right at home when I'm done. Where it really matters is when I look into this tank, I see my cut of the Chesapeake Bay.
