What about pvc pipe? Would that work?

Yes, if you get the thicker walled stuff. But much bigger holes and better chance of breaking rock.

Glue? Probably not. If you're not going to do the rod thing, just use gravity.

Well I'm just going to work with what I've got and not make anything too complicated.

Complicated can get to be too much. It can also fall down Some of mine got complicated, I have to adjust it often. One day I'm going to have to tear the left side apart to fix "complicated" and make it simple (and steady)

I know there's a place on the north end of C-Town by the airport, can't remember the name of it right now. I've bought acrylic rods and tubes from them before, minimum order was about $50. Grizz would be able to tell you the name, he buys from them quite a bit.

Too late, I've already started and actually happy I couldn't find the rods.

i used 1/2 " pvc on my bonsai build, i have all the bits and blades sheena to sculpt or drill any of your rock.


if you really want to do something cool look into shaving and notching the rocks themselves to fit together, if you would like some help i would be glad to help.

Thanks Denny. There's something to be said about working with base rock vs live rock. I have great pieces of lr that are impossible to work with: base rock not a problem, just don't have a lot of it. I don't have anything to break it up, if you wanna come over by all means I'd love the help!
