    Not saying I'd turn down the rock offer because I would go for it, but I really encourage you to keep trying to building with your rock too. You can build something nice out of just about anything if you keep trying, and you will be better at aquascaping and feel more accomplished if you do. You really do need some way of holding the rocks in a way you want them even if they are nice pieces, you don't want to loose live stock from a rock shift. one arch I really like was made by drilling holes in the rock and stringing them on an acrylic rod, and caves are really easy with a few dots of glue.

    I don't think that's too bad, I might take a rock or two and brake it with a hammer and punch so that you have a few odd shapes to work with. I see what you mean that you don't have a lot to work with, but I think you can make something.

    hey I havent read through the thread, but i used to be in a situation like yours (and kinda still am) but i want to give back tot he reef community. i would be willing to give you around 25 lbs of good quality dry rock that I have immaculately cleaned in a 4 week bleach, vinegar, water soak process about a year ago. if your interested ill throw up some pictures and quote you on shipping because i cant cover that... let me know
