Reefing newb
Have any of you guys ever used any of the reef framing techniques out there? I am interested in trying it. My live rock is cured, but I have no organisms (livestock I've placed anyway) in the tank, I was thinking I may go ahead and do it.
For those who don't know the technique you basicaly make an upright stable framework of capped pvc tubes that you drill holes into, and then you drill into your liverock, attach pvc tubes coming out of the rock, and then notch hooks into the pipe, that then attached to the scaffolding you've created out of the upright tubes.
Supposedly makes for easier maintenance and an easy way to build stable interesting rockwork formations.
Any thoughts?
My one concern is that a 40 gallon tank is awfully small for this, but it could work ok, just have to scale it down.
