Acrylic Rods

[mikellini]

Acrylic rods will get brittle over time in salt water and there are reports of them breaking. Use fiberglass, home depot has fiberglass driveway markers in various thicknesses and colours. Completely reef safe

Thank you for the information. I can get those in my town making getting the product easier to get for me. Are they fairly strong?

I think nearly impossible to break in a reef tank environment, although the thin ones are a little more flexible that the thicker ones. But it also depends on how much weight they're holding and how long the piece is.
