well in that project they used .75" PVC, but i would try 1" or 1.25"

if i do try this i think i might try it out at the shop (elite aquatics) first.
once i get permission that is.

who knows, maybe it would help to settle in our jawfish when we get them

the only down side i see to this is you wouldn't really get a chance to watch the jawfish do what they do best..dig with there mouths!

Thats a pretty good idea i also got a bluespot jawfish from a lfs and built him a little structure with rubble after a day of settling in he found it and customized it to say the least lol the coolest thing i noticed is if hes getting bugged by another fish or at night sometimes he'll close his little cavern with nearby hermit shells or rubble

4 x street 90s slip x slip
1 x tee
1 x short piece of pipe
1/8" drill bit
no glue required

then make your own disguise, fun project

I had always been interested in getting a blue spot .. need bigger tank, but that's coming soon hopefully

Nice pics and info about bluespot jawfish: http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/...spot-club.html

i didn't take a picture of the original set up i did for him but i had rubble kind of set up in a little cave for him to go into but here are a few shots of what he did over the first week



he had dug out a second entrance at this point



back to one entrance but now he goes out at night and is piling up sand where he likes to hang out



this last shot is the most recent and as you can tell he has grabbed a nearby piece of rubble that had some zoa's on it and that is his new front door lol
