I was tired of not having places to put coral, and being a student, I don't have the $$ to just go out and buy another 80 lbs of liverock. So I built a PVC/eggcrate support. Did it all with stuff I had lieing around. I used every single zap strap in the house. Not a single one left
Surefire way to make 90 lbs of liverock look like 140+
Just need a little more rock to fill out the right side and a bit on the top. that'll be when the semester's over. The great thing is I KNOW there aren't any dead spots piled under all the rock, cuz it's just a big open space
I've got a powerhead pointed at the back (as you can see) to make sure nothing collects behind the rockwork. The overall water flow's better too, this way. Just flows right over all the rocks.
I was even thinking of leaving the little bit of PVC/egg crate open on the right, as it was an extremely convenient place to place all my frags. I don't know of too many people who have their frag rack integrated into their rockwork
