The last time I threw a few lengths of 4inch pvc into my QT tank they floated.. Which ones float and which ones don't? I had to use the joints and elbows in the tank.

Also I use a air powered sponge filter in mine. Basically bio media wrapped around a pvc tube with slots in it, placed in a plastic box with slots in it, with airline tube that goes to the bottom. With a good air pump it can churn the water up in a 20 gallon but it does an awesome job with the bacteria and cleans the water a good bit also.
