My Fake Mangrove Root - Foil Stage

Here' a couple of pics of the root with foil on it. The foil looks weird but it does help to visualize it.





I'm pretty happy with it so far! Working with the foil is pretty easy - just tear off a sheet and wad it up around the wire. This'll help bulk it up so I don't run out of epoxy clay.

I had to modify the design as I went. I had to compress it front to back so I'll be able to get it under my hood and into the tank. Next I've got to make sure it'll work with my powerhead!
