PVC Framing...
 
Alright, so I get the fact that you lay out what you want, drill the rocks and then zip tie em to the pvc. What are the holes in the PVC for? I know some of them would be used for the ties...but are the rest just for flow? Is there an extra pump needed? Or is it just for "normal" waterflow?

Could people please post pics of their PVC framework...I like the idea of it, but am having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around it.

I dunno...pen holders? :biggrin:

No, you're probably right (flow and for the zip ties)

I get it...so if my fish feel the uncanny desire to draw their surroundings the pens will be handy...excellent LOL

So then no extra pump needed? It's just to allow water to pass through the entire structure?

They are just to prevent stagnant water in the PVC.

Indeed Doug. I've seen the finished product in your journal, but wouldn't mind seeing the steps involved...

thanks

You wouldn't want the air trapped, so then it floated would you? :mrgreen:
