I have seen some of the red gas pipe used. Poured in concrete and left sticking out
I just scored over 700 pieces of Fiber Optic 2 inch orange pipe and it seems to have neutral buoyancy, but it does float. Has anyone used this to create structure and what has worked best? I actually made a moving tree by just tying a knot in parachute twine every 8 inches and tying a 3 foot piece of this pipe with a hole drilled in the middle horizontally, and adding a small 6 ounce bottle tied to the top( anchored by a cinder block). I made this "Tree" 8 feet tall and on windy days I go over it and can see it moving cause the water is clear.
For another design, if I drilled the holes in the End of the pipe and tied a knot every 8 inches, i would end up with a vertical tree that would move with the current. I guess it would end up looking at giant weeds flowing in the current
Anyone ever try using structure that has movement to it like this? Should I just stick to cementing 8-12 pieces of pipe in a bucket of cement?

It will hold fish. I use plastic coated electrical wire on my shelters. Any type of rope seems to be a magnet for a crappie jig to hang in. You can buy it cheap at garage/estate sales.

Don't use copper wire.
Put a a piece of copper, a penny or one of those sandwiched coins in an Aquinium and see what happens in a few days.
