Default PVC pipe and Live Rock????

I have had my 20 gal saltwater for about a year now and i recently bought a 85 gal tank. In setting up this new tank i want to make it as clean to the human eye as possible and im having trouble when reading the descriptions in the process in suspending the live rock with PVC pipes. i understand that it must be drilled so correct me if im wrong but i will have to build a frame with the PVC pipes that will got under my sand then after drilling the rock i will slide them on the posts of my framework of PVC pipes. do i have the rite idea????

If you use a large piece of base rock to anchor the first piece of pvc you wont need a frame.Just a 1/2 inch of pvc pipe of the appropraite length.If you want to make life easy for yourself try some aquarium epoxy to hold the rock together,its far less invasive.

I found this very cool everyone, this guy created the collest LR or soon to be LR aquascaping ever. I will put the link on the bottom. For probly about$40.00 rock not included and some time he designed this for his tank to me it would be well worth it. If I were setting up a new tank...
