Would eggcrate be better used if it was elevated off the bottom. I have seen pics of pvc with eggcrate on top, then live rock on top of the eggcrate backed by vertical pvc, I think the pvc was piped with water flow. Does that make any sense. My mind is racing thinking about how to properly aquascape my new 90gallon tank.

I would recommend trying to find acrylic egg crate for it. The real name is light diffuser.
I did what your asking. I'll post a few pics how it turned out.

None of the pvc was plumbed for water and all ends were sealed, all joints were glued. The rock holds down the structures. So far so good.
