That would be awsome....
i have just come up with a few ideas for shaping. i have a jawfish and would love to set up some underrock tunnels for him. i was thinking of using some pvc on the bottom for the shape. as long as i can get the pipe out later.

Regular old portland cement is the stuff you want. I prefer the softener salt, oyster shell mix, makes for nice porosity. I've got mini brittle stars that love the few pieces I've put in the tank. They like to hide in the crevices between the oyster shells.

My tank is even smaller but i would like to consider the posibility of building something to "FIT" my tank. end to end in the back. thinking of using a wood form for the 90,s in the corners at the back and make a small wall for the back.

Here are some pics of my first MMLR attempt.
 Close-up of the surface of the rock.  Here you can see how the water passes through the rock. All the water from the tap is passing THROUGH the thickest (3") part of the rock with no problems.

Watched a show on Discovery this AM about the aquarium in Atlanta. Apparently its the largest in North America. All thier LR is man made and aqua-cultured.

I'll be attempting to make my own rock in a few weeks. I think I'll be using more concrete and less shells than average, I like the look of rock more than shell.
