Hey everyone how do you guys make the DIY frag racks from egg crate (light diffuser) and pvc pipes. Can someone share plans build specs etc? Pics also would be nice. Thanks.
 
I've done it with pvc pipe legs, just use small cable ties to hold them onto the egg crate.

I like the ones using good strong magnets better. I have one tha is really big, but I had a set of magnets from an old defective Jeboa Crossflow. The gyre was crap (especially the weak motor), but the magnets are crazy strong!

I've done it both ways as well. I, too, prefer the magnets. That allows me to start the frags out low in the tank and move them up over a few weeks to get used to the lights.
 
my frag tank is only 11 gallons but I am thinking of getting a low boy too. I also have a 40 breeder build on the horizon.
both will be tied into the 11 gallon frag system my sump is 25 gallon.
