Achilles Tang Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I'm not a big fan of using eggcrates because even though they have lots of 'holes' they still form walls which restrict the movement of fishes and sandbed creatures like sea cucumbers. They are also kinda flimsy and tend to sag so the tendency is to use many eggcrates columns to support a horizontal eggcrate shelve. I prefer using PVC pipes because they take up very little space as columns and are very strong. My fishes can swim the entire back length of my tank under all that liverock without coming face to face with any 'walls'. Because they are also grey, its so much harder to see them and once covered with coralline algae (when exposed to light) they are hidden well... can't say the same for white eggcrates!

Morgan Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 As what AT has mention...eggcrate will cause obstruction to fish swimming.....and they are weak if not properly done as it will crack if you got to pile alot of LR on top of them. I am using pvc pipes for legs and eggcrate for top covering. The bulk of the weight of the rocks are supported by the pvc legs how on earth do you weld your pipes together?. Use pvc glue which is available at most hardware shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
