Looking for something

Post by Redfish » Sun Nov 22, 2009 10:14 am

I am looking for some acrylic rods, I have tried Lowes and Home Depot in Biloxi, no go. I am going to redo the Aqua Scapeing in my tank and I want to drill the live rock and use these rods to build the structures I want. I was thinking about just using some small PVC pipe if I can't find the acrylic. Anyway if ya'll come across some let me know.

And be prepared to get out your wallet...

Years ago, in building a reverse-flow undergravel, we were told we had to use Excelon clear PVC pipe in saltwater. Today, we know that's not necessarily true, but that stuff was EXpensive.

My wife may have changed my mind for me, lol. She says she likes the tank the way it is.

I've heard some people cut up plastic coat hangers for rods.
