well, not actually sure what you are talking about mate

i know some people use PVC to keep the LR off the bottom of the sand bed, but that is mainly for circulation around the LR

and with a reef tank you want as much LR as possible

if you are trying to save money, by not buying a lot of LR, then try to buy some base rock (usually $1 or so a pound)
and use it so your costs will be down and the base rock will become LR in time
i have around 2lbs per gal in my 150gal (about 300lbs rock)
about 100lbs is base rock and about 200lbs is LR i bought online and you cant really tell the difference now, this saved me a lot of money

as far as the glue, use aquarium safe glue, usually found at the LFS
