I am back on RC again, it has been probably 8 months since I have posted on here.
Anyway I do have a question:
In my 72 gallon bow front tank I have about 90-100lbs of live rock. When I set it up about 2 years ago I just kinda piled up all the rock on the sand, and I have rock on top of rock. This has worked out alright for these 2 years. But after looking at some other tanks on here, and elsewhere on the internet I have noticed a trend, which is that many folks have made "shelves" in the tank out of PVC pipe and eggcrate for the rocks to sit on that allow more water flow, leading to a cleaner setup.
My question is, I would like to set something like this up. What would be the best way for me to go about doing this? What materials do I need? How would I get everything together (ie. Zipties, silicone, etc. ) How would I make it fit together (ie. one large structure, many small ones)? Any other factors to think about in building one of these structures for the rock to sit on?
Any advice on this would be very useful.
Thanks in advance.
Evan.
