For this you will need
*Aquarium Friendly Silicone
*Pipe (PVC is a good choice)
*Gravel or Large Pebles (large pebles are quicker and easier and less time consuming for this)
*silicone Gun
Optional:
*Extra Features Such as plants and other ornaments
Step 1
Boil the pebles/Gravel and Pipe as you would any new item to the aquarium and then let them dry
Step 2
After the Pipe and Pebles have dried start from the top of your pip and lay one stripe of Aquarium Friendly Silicone down the middle of the outside and then begin to lay the pebles one by one on the stripe of silicone do this on the upper side of the pipe and when it is done do the other side the same
Step 3
If you have chosen to use small tank gravel this step does not apply to you
With the large pebles there are unattractive gaps begin filling them in with Silicone and then lay smaller pebles or gravel in the gaps
Step 4
If you wish to decorate the pipe cave with extra stuff such as plastic plants do so by stick the base branch of the plant into a gap of silicone
Doing this cave lets you be creative and make a cave suited to your own tank, plus the fish will love to have a hide away where they might even breed in
