Thank you so much!  Do you think 1/4 inch is strong enough if I want to have overhangs, ledges, etc.?  I am starting with marco key largo dry rock.]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:20:37 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58315&PID=482770&title=acrylic-tubing#482770 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58315&PID=482760&title=acrylic-tubing#482760 Author: Elite-Aquatics

Thanks, I've seen some article about using those.  I'll see where I can find them.

I am making my parts list for my new tank, which will be barebottom.  I've been reading about drilling holes in the rock (I'm starting with dry rock) and inserting acrylic tubing to keep it off the bottom and to also hold rocks together.  I've found a website that sells all sorts of this tubing.  Has anyone used it, and if so, what size did you use?]]> Wed, 08 Aug 2012 16:18:31 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58315&PID=480361&title=acrylic-tubing#480361
