As for SketchUp: if you go to File-->3D Warehouse, you can do a search for models that you can import. A search for PVC plumbing yielded some promising results.

might throw up some quarter inch clear fish netting (as opposed to ugly starboard everyone in reefing seems to love )

I saw the drawing but how do you "Assemble" the pieces? I only watched the beginner movies so far. I only have the free version so i dunno if i can still do an align via centre points.

This is the dry scape i have had in my 23long for some time now. I want to epoxy it together then transfer it;

I spent about 10 minutes or so messing around in the free version of SketchUp but I was using prefab'ed straight PVC and couldn't separate the one I wanted from the other sizes to show you how they assembled. In any case, you should be able to get them to fit them together if you use the tape measure to set a guide point. Then, you should be able to drag the corresponding point on the other piece so that it lines up with the guide point and they fit. There may be a clearer method to do this but I taught myself without the videos :P. Hope this helps.
