Live Rock Placement

[hillbillyreefer]

Egg Crate is easy to cut. Measure it up and just snap the flats out where you want the cut. A regular pair of pliers works fine for this. The only trouble is some flying plastic and the shards are a little sharp, stepped on one yesterday and said a bad word. Safety glasses should be worn and don't do it over carpet, the fliers stick to it and are hard to get off. There will be little jagged edges on the piece you want to keep, just run the side of the pliers up and down the edges and they pop right off.

I use my hubbys side cutters. Put the flat edge against the side you want to keep and it makes a pretty clean cut. If I want to get really fancy I use a rasp type flat file and clean it up with that.

Here's a pic of the PVC support. You still need something to cut it with, like a hacksaw or pipe cutter. I drilled holes in it so there are no dead spots and didn't worry about gluing it. It saves you on base rock, makes some great caves and gives good flow under the rock.
