Don't mind me asking, but what is a floating reef? I want to get in to saltwater after a little saving 
so I am just considering my options and a floating reef sounds cool.

its interesting to say the least. is sort of like a fram made of PVC that the Live rock will rest on.. this way the rock has all surfaces showing and is not at all buried in side.. better filtration.. hopefully like aces is mine will have water shooting upwards towards the top of the tank to create an updraft and make the clean water shoot the poorer water up to the top to be skimmed!
okay i really LIKE this idea now the more i think about it. i was trying to figure out what to do with the Y thing because i will have an mp10 anyways! this is perfect! I THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING CHETO in the pipes as well but that would require light but that would be so awsome

Take off the Y and just snap one of the Loc-Line flexi arms directly to the back wall instead of the Y. Then you can flex it down and use a shorter piece of hose as long as it is close in diameter. If the hose is just a little small you can use a hair dryer on high for a minute or dip the end of the hose in boiling water for a few seconds to soften it and try and slip it over the loc-line. As it cools it will be a tight enough fit that you won't have to worry. On the barb/PVC side I would probably suggest a plastic hose clamp as an extra precaution, but I really can't see a way it would come off on its own if the hose it cut perfectly to length, which with the loc-line arm it doesn't have to be that perfect because you can adjust it a little.
Only issue I can think of is the hose not being thick enough and a rock possible crushing the hose if you rest a rock against it.

It actually blends in pretty good. Looks great actually. Will the whole frame become purple eventually?
Yup, eventually the frame will be completely purple. The the closer you keep your alk to 12 the faster the purple coralline will grow.
