Hi,
I'm planning to get a 25g Package in the next month, but was wondering how people place their base rock. I have heard some people put them on the glass bottom then add sand. Others add the sand and put in the rock on top. A few place them on stands/egg crate to keep them sand level but not able to settle and crush things under them.
I was thinking of taking some PVC pipe and cut it into a tri pronged base, kind of like what you get from some pizza places to hold the center of the box off a pizza. Place these prongs up and set the rock on them. This would hold the rocks up, but stay pretty much hidden. Being prongs, the creepy crawlies can still dig under, and even get safely into the PVC holder and back out without being crushed.
Crazy idea? any better suggestions?
Thanks,
David
