Im using clay pots and pvc pipe, jeaper and easier to find.

I found some nice cones at a LFS picked one up to buy it at the counter and promptly put it back when they said it was 21.99. Even deluxe pvc wont set me back that much :)


Peace,

Aloha, I made my own using the idea I read on the DIY section. It is made of PVC. You get 4x4 ceramic tile,1 or whatever amount you need inch and a half by 10ft PVC pipe cut at a 15 degree angle, tube of 100% silicone, Glue the PVC to tile. Then wait till dry about 2 days to cure, then fill the tube with sand or gravel about half way. When this is done get a PVC cap or plug and you have an inexpensive breeding cone. I think it cost me a little over 3 dollars. I made a total of twelve out of a ten foot piece of PVC, I only needed seven of them. But when I need them I will have them.

I hope this helps you.

Aloha Ike ;D
