My frame is more just a basic support to allow more flow under the back of the rock.

Mine is based on two peaks with a canyon that runs to the back wall. Inspired by Palletta's book and the amazing Oregonreef.com. I have 36" front to back to help. Caves and overhangs were built using the pvc support. If you can get ahold of Vol. 3 of The Reef Aquarium there is a great chapter on backgrounds and aquascaping using alternative methods.
