what are peoples thoughts on this?

personally i think it's a great idea and might have to try it out for myself

Its kind of cool mine makes a huge mess all over the tank though he moves a lot of sand everywhere. Not sure this would make much of a difference.

What size of pipe are you using?

That's awesome!

well in that project they used .75" PVC, but i would try 1" or 1.25"

if i do try this i think i might try it out at the shop (elite aquatics) first.
once i get permission that is.

who knows, maybe it would help to settle in our jawfish when we get them

the only down side i see to this is you wouldn't really get a chance to watch the jawfish do what they do best..dig with there mouths!

OMG that is freaking awesome!! Wow I'd totally redo my nano for that!

Thats a pretty good idea i also got a bluespot jawfish from a lfs and built him a little structure with rubble after a day of settling in he found it and customized it to say the least lol the coolest thing i noticed is if hes getting bugged by another fish or at night sometimes he'll close his little cavern with nearby hermit shells or rubble

4 x street 90s slip x slip
1 x tee
1 x short piece of pipe
1/8" drill bit
no glue required

then make your own disguise, fun project :)

I had always been interested in getting a blue spot .. need bigger tank, but that's coming soon hopefully :)

Nice pics and info about bluespot jawfish: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/...spot-club.html
