So... I don't really even HAVE a tank yet, but I know the dimensions.

Here is my first live rock creation.

The part on the side is made to hook on like a big ear;)

The main part was just a chunk of PUKANI rock. I hollowed it out;) what a great place for a show coral on the front ledge eh!!!!

Here is the best tool I've ever used to cut / shape live rock

Very neat shape.
If you decide to go pro, I'll be looking to buy some rocks from you during my next build.
 
That's some strong tape to hold it all together! lol Good start.

Ha. No tape. You just cut a notch in the parts and link them together. When I get everything ready I'll use epoxy putty to strengthen it all up)

I DO like knowing my rock work can be modular though ... In case of pests / breaks / algae or some other anomaly.

This is actually all the rock I have :( I sold my other LR recently ... I need about 20 more lb of the PUKANI and I'll be set to go for an 80g shallow

I'm already jealous of your future aquascape. :shades:
 
My last tank taught me to build exactly what I want instead of depending on big round rocks to stack ..... I'll see if I can find a pic before it grew in
