First to clear some misconceptions:

1. My father-in-law does not own a shipyard, he ran a few as a GM/consultant. He is a problem solver when no one can come up with a solution. Notorious for his fierce temper and ######-kicking but he has everyone's respect. I spent years tip-toeing around him... :D He think's I am crazy anyway with regards to this hobby. :)

2. My PVC pipes are welded to the PVC sheets by actual PVC welding... not PVC glueing. It's expensive like hell. But permanent and strong.

Cable ties are not good as they get brittle over time and break

Can you image having a rock slide in the tank :shock:

at, morgan or whoever else who uses pvc pipes, do you guys seal off all the openings? if so, won't the structure float up to the surface cos of all the air inside?(i mean before you weigh it down with rocks?)

if the openings are not sealed and water allowed to occupy the pipes, will there be any "dead water" situation?

just wondering.
