went there and tried that.  but the silicon didnt stick.  i tried a tupperware and a pvc pipe.  i dont know maybe im an idiot but all the silicon and rocks peeled off way to easy for me to put in the tank cause i didnt want the fish to eat it.

Rough up the tupperware & pvc w/ some sandpaper to give it something to stick to.

If the tupperwate is made of that poly... (whatever) plastic, I'm told that silicone will not stick to it.

If I could find the right pieces of slate, precut or not, I would silicone them to make a cave.
