    Would anyone have instructions on how to do rock framing in your reef setup? Using PVC piping and attaching it to your live rock to form natural looking structures that are easy to clean around and maintain. I am interested in doing this on my next new setup but do not have instructions or screen shots. I have seen it done in a few hobby related articles and would like more info on it.

    If you use Marcos cement mix, I'm told you have to wait for them to dry and then like soak em.. You could get flat shelf pieces, even silicone will work, but you have to have the right type! That's what I used when I made my arc, but I tore it down after cuz I didn't like it. I use putty, and that works well...

    Err, I also tried the PVC, using a drill and what not... Didn't work too well... Marcos rock is really Fragile IMO, but I absolutely LOVE it.

    Acrylic driveway rods work better than pvc, don't have to drill as big of holes, then use putty for holding glue.
