I have two pvc substructured overhangs in my tank atm.....you would be more than welcome to come over and have a look if you like (as long as you promise not to notice the aptaisia)........

biggest tips I can give are:

buy a couple lengths of 3/4" pvc (I used 1/2 and thinks I should have used 3/4")
drill small 3/16" - 1/4" holes every couple inches to eliminate stagnant areas inside the pvc and to provide mounting points for the zipties if you use them...
buy a crap load of various fittings (90s, Ts, 45s), dont worry, you can return what you dont use
take your time and get it right,....you'll be glad you did when people see your tank and say "how did you do that?"
