    I have been thinking of redoing my 75g and have been wanting to make my own rock. If i was to use some pvc to make some arches and caves to make up my rock scape, could I just use the rock mix and form it around the pvc? Not sure if this would even work. Should I scratch this idea? The end result would be the pvc rock scape along woth some existing live rock.

    Either method should work.

    Thanks for the replies. I am still doing a lot of research on this idea. My only concern would be that the scape wouldn't look natural.
