FWIW when I ripped my tank down and re did all the rock I cut a number of peices of pvc to length just about the same depth as my live sand, I put the pipe on end so the other open end was up and simply put the rock on that. My thoughts were that it would allow sand dwelling life to move under the rock with out causing it to fall AND it took all the sharp points of the glass.

I gather this is aragocrete you are making? If so I would love to hear details of how you did it, I have the cement but just haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I read that if you cure the rock for a few days in open air then give it a vinegar bath and rinse it off, that will usually cure it for use.... any truth to that?
