give it some time, algae will grow on it sooner or later.
How are the Kansas fish habitat cubes working. Are they doing well as expected or not. Are people catching a lot of fish off them. If so are you going to be making more of the same or are you going to make a different type. Just would like to know if these are worth the money to build or will just using the old brush/tree limbs be better.
Be safe and good luck fishing

looks like a good one there I built 4 of them out of pvc scraps glad all I had was time invested much more production out of a cedar or hedge tree

Now I did not make the one in the picture. I used the picture to show what a Kansas habitat looks like. Thanks for all the feed back so far on these. Looks like it is going to be best to gather up all the after this years Christmas trees and sink them instead of spending money on pipe. Here is the locations of the cubes to help those that don't know were they are located. Thanks for everyones help.

Are there any plans with materials needed to build the cubes? Do they require concrete weights to keep them in place?
Will sonar and DSI pick them up?

Just a piece of advise. If you use PVC for your attractors sand down the pipe with a course sandpaper before assembly. Algae will attach a lot faster to a rough surface vs a smooth surface. Those cubes are nice but would be pricey to build. You can get a mossback fish rack cheaper

Developed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and known as Georgia Cubes, each structure is a square frame made from PVC pipe upon which plastic corrugated drain pipe is fastened. A 3-foot square “cube” is made from 1½ inch PVC pipe. Before the top pipes are put onto the cube, about 16 pounds of gravel is poured into the open pipes, making the cube heavy enough to sink to the bottom of the lake and stay where it’s put.
Also before the top framework is added, holes are drilled in pieces of 4-inch plastic, corrugated drain pipe (like you would bury around your house for drainage) and pieces are slipped down over the upright pipes until a total of about 50 feet is added. The plastic drain pipe adds additional surface area to help attract fish, yet keeps the design open, which seems to work best. Then the top PVC pipes are put on and the cube is ready to be submerged.
The PVC cubes are cost-effective, easy to place and last three times longer than traditional tree-limb brush piles.
