Hi there the board is very informative i was a discus beginner before i came to know about the board and now i have been able to cure hole in the head just by going through the board.
By the way PVC pipes are great i have made ugf from pvc pipes.
just cut them to the tank length and then u decide how many pipes u want to add to the width and join them with l bends and t type joints. And of course u have to drill holes on them at equi distant hole size depends on power head cpacity and type of gravel. works wonder for my 6foot by 1.5foot by 2foot tank and also for my 65 gallon discus tank.
for golden small sand you have to drill small holes.
i'll pose pictures if you allow and tell me how to post them.
sponge stripes can be inserted inside the tubes to increase the area available for benificial bacterias to grow.
