    looks good to me. I would just build up some base rock around it and use that as the centerpiece.

    I really like it.....I think it looks really kewl just one towering piece !

    You could always add a piece if you find a piece you really like and you think it would compliment your show piece...

    Maybe that is why I had so many friends ?!?!
    I got my original 22 Lbs then added 2 more pieces because I like the look...

    Id say break it up or added smaller bits only because if you plan on adding corals, you will have more spots for placement.. I don't think that pillar offers many, at least not that i can see...

    Best of Luck

    I think it looks awesome.

    I had a really big piece of rock in my tank that I didn't like so I broke it into smaller pieces. My big rock didn't really have any hiding spots though.

    I would probably break it up. Of course, I'm a rockaholic so you may not want to listen to me! Just this past Saturday, I was whacking a larger rock into 3 pieces on my kitchen counter with a hammer.....;D Corian countertops are really durable (I did have folded newspaper under the rock)! ;D
