I was think it would be cool to have a rope bridge spanning peaks/mountains in a take (planning a future scape). Has anyone done something like this? if so can you post a pic!
Cant speak about the rope bridge but the rock arch bridge I could probably guess at pretty well from my saltwater days. That is probably real stone that has been epoxied together and even drilled and connected together with metal rods. Im sure it could be carved but id go for connecting rocks together if it were me, then filling any visible gaps with plants.
Some rocks will alter your water parameters. The "acid test" (vinegar, muriatic, hydrochloric, whatever) lets you know if the rock will make your water harder (raises pH, contains CaCO3)
Aside from the acid test, not really. limestone is known to effect water hardness pretty significantly, so maybe watch out for limestone, otherwise most rock is likely to be pretty inert. When I went to the landscaping supply I brought a little 2oz spray bottle of vinegar and sprayed what I was looking at lol. Didnt even get funny looks.
I could see this being cool if you had moss on it. There was a thread about braiding rope and putting moss in between. When the moss grows out it would look like a moss bridge.
That is a cool idea, Could also be an excellent way to make "vines" for more of a jungle amazon theme
