kevan Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Does anyone know if you can use clay pipes to support coral structure or does the clay have to be glazzed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 try a toothbrush handle :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 any particular reason for wanting to use it?? im sure you could do the same with PVC and egg crate but still allow abit of flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevan Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I need it to hold three plates of coral at thee different heights I could do it with coral rock but it would take a lot of rock and I was going to try and hide the pipes by stacking live rock around them. I would need a strong pvc structure to hold plates in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 plates as in monipora or just live rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevan Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 those dead coral plates round and quite thick and heavy I had a look at one at Holliwood about 8 kilos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 ask chimera how he fixed his. thats quite heavy youll be needing something fairly hefty. does any one know if use of pottery would effect water chemistry at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 toothbrush handle and aqua-kneadit a thin pvc pipe would be most suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevan Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 this might give rough idea of what I'm trying to do , then stack live rock to hide pipes . I need to know if I can use clay pipes or if they need glazing . http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ ... titled.bmp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
