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.

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!

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

I have a 1/4" x 3' long piece you can have. Not sure what size you need but let me know if that helps.

Edit: Ooops, just saw you changed plans already.
