May 21, 2014 #9 emmett0122 Reef enthusiast i have 3" pvc pipe but it floats will the fittings sink or do you have to weight them down?
May 22, 2014 #10 R ReeferRob Reefing newb Mine always sank, are you sure you have PVC and not something else? PVC should always sink, other plastics may float. Also, have you ever been to Reef and Tails in Wyomissing?
