Pvc framework
 

Hi everyone. I am planning a pvc frame work for my live rock and I know that holes should be drilled in it to allow water movement. My Questions are 1) should the framework be glued together and 2) the pvc that I am using was stored outside and is a bit dirty. I am wondering if I should boil it just in case, or a would a good scrubbing with a pipe brush be sufficient? Also if anyone here has done this and would like to add there experiences or any tips, or pics of the finished product that would be great. Thanks, Doug.

I would not glue it, if you change your mind it is easier to just pull apart. I glued the pvc i used for bigger overhangs but that was all.

Hey Doug
Here's a thread with a pic of my support. I got it from Paletta's book, The New Marine Aquarium.
