Amphibious' Rock Stands

didn't we have a few more photo's guys?
i can only see one photo.

They are in my tank build thread here - Amphibious’ 135 gal reef

ok, i'll see you on the other side, i may have a beard thing happening in that time though, you have a massive thread happening ampage..

The PVC rock stands are on the first page with a few a little further on.

Massive thread is right, over 37,000 views. WOW!

Dick

I looked for the others but could only find the first one when I made it into an article. If you run across the other posts would you please give me the post number so we can add them to it.

Page one post 11 is the first pic of the stands. It might add to the article.

How'd I miss that?

cause your retina's are seared after glancing at this picture i found in Ampages new shed... lol

You know, I saw a girl with about that build and that length of skirt on today on my way to work. It is below freezing and there is snow on the ground. I wonder what she does for a living???

um, librarian???

LOL, I am sure!

Something that is outlawed and hopefully she gets caught. V, some of the pictures you get are very shocking and disturbing at the same time. But I just have this one question were you the one behind that camera. I am sure you were. LOL

This thread is about rock stands NOT rock stars. Only V can find the most audacious pictures and have the audacity to post them. That guy would be run out of my shed on his rump, literally. V, you posted a much different pic in another thread that Would be more likely found in my quarters.

Hi Dick,
A few more pictures of the stands and how you did it would be great for someone like me who is just starting.

I love your idea fro rock stands dick, I am currently using them for the start up of my tank. Oh and thanks for the calcium I ordered from you as well

Phil i used my chop saw to cut the pipe and then used a paddle bit on my drill press for the holes, then used a dremel to make them nice and round

Thanks again Dick,
Bob

Yea I know what you mean. LOL

I can’t remember where I first got the idea. Doubt if it was an original from my brain. I’ve been using them since the mid ‘90s. They are meant to hold the LR up off the LSB to allow water to flow under the LR and keep the DSB aerobically fresh. What happens without them is the area where the LR sits on the sand becomes stagnant. The DSB’s activity is extended indefinitely utilizing the stands.

If you are going to have a 4” DSB you would want the pipe cut to a length of 5” or a bit more. Those in the picture are 5”. The pipe is 1 1/2” and I drilled 1” holes to allow water flow through them and was thinking small fish would use them for hiding. That didn’t happen. Next time I’m using 2” pipe and fashioning the holes a bit different. I’ll start a thread on those when a start the build.

I’m in the beginning stage of figuring out the piping the piping schematic in the aquaculture building. Plus I’m doing a 220 reef in there.

Awesome Dick, I cant wait to follow your new tank build.

i so love how we are random on posts.
Cool coll, you know i'll be there bud.
