I pegged my rockwork
I did it and had a bad experience about it
We need more info on it
I was affraid to try it
It was great and it looks great
I used Fidji LR
I used Carribian LR
I Used Indonesian
I used other rock
i used cement work
I can add more lb of rock by pegging
I can reduce the amount of lb by pegging
The best LR fidgi
The best LR Tonga
Becareful bad things can happen when pegging
You can pegg with Wood
You can only pegg with PVC or airline tubbing
I use Combo of tubbing and putty
I used combo of putty and Ties
I use all 3 type to secure my rockwork
I lost a few corals du to pegging
Pegging is only for SPS " true"
Pegging is only for SPS "False"
You must use a cement bit to drill hole
I pegge Gramma to her chair LOL
The Pegging Club
Hi , i just saw some great video on pegging at that site
Reef Videos
I thought that a " PEGGING TECHNIQUE CLUB"
Could be set up here to give ideals on how its done step by step. I'm about to set up my 65 g with thses techniques and hopefully you have done the same and "DOCUMENTED" yours as well. So if you have pictures and the different techniques and ideals you had ,Its here you can show them off.
Please keep this thread for the pegging community Thank you

I have upgraded to one 100G starfire glass Reef LPS tank Toped with an 80g starfire split tank with Macro-Algae biotopes with Seahorses and critter, crabs, shrimps, stars, sponges,on one side and Anglers scorpios and what ever can live with them in the other a the bottom of the $ 2000 steel stand a 70g regular glass clear sump full of goodies. LED programable for the Reef, Hight Output T5 for the Biotopes. Closed Loop. Need info on Skimmers, LED, T5.

hey, great idea for a thread. pegging sounds like a great technique for making cool, otherwise precarious, rockwork. I'd love to see some pictures and hear some stories of success and failure so that i could get my nerves up to try it in my next tank.
common peggers! lets see your stuff!
Great idea but I just re-scaped.
I guess you would just drill holes pretty much everywhere so you had them when and where you needed them?
Looks like it would work really well for SPS or anything on a plug.
Peace

A reef tank is like a race car. The faster you go the harder you crash
I am planning to do this with my rock work once I get to that stage with the new tank. Actually, some of the corals in my current tank have the pegs on them now in preparation of moving them to the new tank. Would be great to see the results of others who have tried it.
A good place to watch about pegging Reef Videos . enjoy!

That's a cool idea. I might do that in my tank after I move in a few months. How does the airline tubing hold so well? That stuff seems too flexible to hold a coral to a rock. Or do they use a stiffer kind of tubing?

ooo! well done! you've got some amazing structures going there! sometimes pegged rockwork looks entirely too false to me, but yours looks artsy and cool! (didn't happen to snap any pictures during the process did you?)
no pics. what the wife and i did was make a cardboard template of the tank. then we were free to try things with out the confines of being in the tank. once each pillar was done i just set it in the tank

Hey man THAT is a great ideal, thanks for it. I'm planning to pegg my LR , but was worried of the tank being scratched or dammage with all the playing around. Keep those ideals comming we need more like this. You rock!!!

one other thing, we laid a shower curtain over the template to keep it from getting wet. all my rock was cured so it must be kept wet and out of the tank for the shortest time possible, large bins were filled with the used water change water to hold the rock while we worked. otherwise you can set off a small cycle
