semperfimarine1 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 im starting up a new 110g rr tank and i wanna try something different. i thought about doing the foam rocks but idk changed my mind. i was looking over on maast on some thread builds and noticed some people using acrylic rods and making "towers" sorta and i wanna try and doing that. question is, where in austin can i go and buy some of those rods so i can get my project going???

Check with Soonerfan - he did that in his tank and it looks perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dapettit Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 You can also get them at Regal Plastic pretty cheap. They come in 6' rods round or square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headless_donkey Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Nice work. Did the rods make THAT big a difference? Either way, your tank is looking good. You have given me some ideas for my tank on how to get the rocks more in the shape I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly fox Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 i dont know really if they make THAT big a difference... but i have a dsb, deeper than it was...theres definately more flow under the rocks than there would have been otherwise.... still getting my flow right though as i have a dead spot under there in one place and its hard to balance without the sandshifting... i made them after my tank was set up...it would be a lot easier to do it before my hifin banded goby loves it though as do my shrimp... but its not the be all and end all i have a differentidea formy new tank build that im working on though...
