Hi everyone I want to run a piece of pipe across the back of my 3 foot tank but am unsure on the best way of connecting the pipe to the back of the glass,If you can help please post here on how i can do this or even a pic of a tank with pvc pipes connected to the tank to help me please.
The pipe is only for a hideout but i want to make sure its safe,Thanks in advance!
I want to fit the pipe to back glass of the tank.The tank is 36 inch long and i was thinking of putting say a 24 inch pipe in there for a large gibby to hide in,He is about 9 inch long so it Must be safe,I was thinking of usin two plastic brackets and silicone (of the fish friendly kind)
From your description, I assume that the tank is empty at the moment. Therefore, you could easily mount with just the silicone, or with plastic brackets. I would advise that you use coarse sandpaper to rough the edge of the PVC that will be siliconed. That will give the silicone more surface area to bond to and get a stronger bond. With such a large fish, it would definitely be useful

Impossible only means that somebody hasn't done it correctly yet.
Well yea i wanted one on the bottom and one half way up but i considered your point with the silicon and maybe wanting to reuse the tank afterwards for other use's so im using some heavy duty suckers now with pvc brackets,I will post some pics here when done
