    Those cones with the lip on them are great. I like the plastic ones too, but the clay ones, being heavier are a better choice for my bigger pairs.
    Thirty-five years keeping and breeding discus, and I'm still learning :P

    i made one with terra cotta pot base and a small length of pvc pipe with a cap on the end. works great and cost bugger all. the most expensive thign was the pvc glue but i have now used it about 10 times for many tank things and i would not have even gone through 1/10 of the tin. one tine of pvc glue would do 100 tank related jobs at least and the rest of the materials are as cheap as chips.

    i had a large breeding cone that i purchased and the only thing the discus did was swim around it for 2 years! hahhaha

    yeah a peice of pvc pipe siliconed to a small slate slab 4inchx4inch base works great,to easy to make,if your worried it still might get pushed just fill the pvc pipe with marbles/gravel.

    it was in the pvc pipe section.... don't know what it is called

    the pvc pipe just sits in it and it is glued to the pot base
