I have never used acrylic rods in my tank and I have never had a problem but I will tell you this, most plastics shops locally will have a minimum order charge and that may be as much as $75- $100. If you don't order over that amount they charge you an extra $25 dollars for what you want which is rediculas if you ask me.

What size do you need? I ordered a bunch for the same purpose and have some left.

There you go Will, this is the exact reason this forum is here today, people helping people. Just out of curiosity where did you get them from???
I bought all my acrylic from Regal plastics when I was building my Frag tank.

Hi Kirbie - I was looking for 3/8" and 1/4"

Were you happy with the results using the acrylic rods? What size did you use?

Thanks

Sorry I was out of town. I have 3/8" and 1/2". I used a little of both. I liked the stability without it being permanent although it still won't be easy to remove stuff without tearing into it. Unless the rocks are pretty small the 1/4" might be too flexible.

Let me know if you are interested.

I used the tall mailbox reflectors from Home Depot. They are like $4 each or something like that. I got that idea on RC somewhere. I think they were 3/8, but I'm not sure.
