PVC Caves

Here are a couple of pics of my PVC caves. (and my fishies too)

That looks pretty cool, man. Great job. It looks like your fish use it. Are those real plants?

Instead of just settling for the shapes the PVC comes in you can "bend" it some. I put the PVC pipe connector I had left over from a project in my oven (on a baking sheet cover with foil) at 300F for a few minute (need to check them every 2-3 mins). Watch out for the fumes- not a window closed project. Once they were soft (do not go over 350F in oven- the plastic will melt) I cut them in half with an old knife and twisted them (wear heavy leather gloves or oven mitts. You will need to hold them in the desired shape for a few minutes until they cool- no more than 10 min. I will be coating them with gravel- will put up pics when totally done.
