I use PVC pipe. I cut a slit length wise drill a hole through the top and wire tie to the crate. Cheap and easy. I used red colored left overs from plumbing my reef.

I just use egg crate to make the egg crate legs. Zip tie them together

I've seen the little legs that clip into the egg crate but no idea who makes the best or where to get them. I just do what the others have said use pvc or egg crate and zip ties.

I think it was 35.00 for 8 or something like that.

That sounds familiar. I've been diying for years no reason to stop now. I spent a ton on some black egg crate recently to make a few things in my new tanks sump that was enough.

Never heard of them before? I notched some pvc sprinkler risers or connector fittings and drilled holes to strap them down with zip ties. It was ugly but it worked great. I decided that the plastic was feeding bacteria and algae like bio pellets are supposed to so I removed them from the tank. I don’t want to keep cleaning the egg crate…

I've used pvc, it worked. I've used egg crate to make egg crate legs, that also worked. Neither works exceptionally well, IMO.

There are multiple people making and selling these on etsy and I've tried a few of those. This one hands down being the best of all of them, and the ones I use exclusively now. https://www.etsy.com/shop/ClearChoi...-name&listing_id=1097586067&from_page=listing

The legs themselves fit perfectly in the egg crate squares and then there is a little cap to attach the legs securely. So when you inevitably move the egg crate for whatever, the legs stay attached. They're great.

Fwiw, I have no affiliation with this company. I've just been highly impressed by their products and would definitely recommend them.

I'm almost speechless

I would use some brightwell blocks. You could probably super glue them to the egg crate no problem and you're adding bio media at the same time

I make the best legs. Saw down pvc in an x pattern and push them on. Glue if needed. 1/2" or 3/4" pvc.

Am I the only one that has trouble with egg crate rack floating? I made a couple (with pvc legs) and I have to set rocks on them or they just float
