I guess the original thread tells how the rods "hook in" to the bottom? I guess what keeps them from falling over?

Gravity holds the rods. The rods are not glued in place nor do they need to be. They just sit in their respective holes so you can mix and match and move things around should you ever want to. Here I will attach a pic is of one of the frames that holds the rods. This frame can either be used for the rods with teeth that you stack your rock on....or for the same rods that by themselves hold your rocks like I did here.

I need to take some new pics.......Im getting some colors back in some of my sps that I abused for the couple months this project took.

Thanks for the compliments and interest everyone.

Here is that pic of the frame Wilyguy

wahat can I say. Very well done. You are always creative with new ideas for your systems. I just cut the pvc this weekend for my flyguy overflow, which I think is a fabulous idea.
