The last article is pretty cool but WTF is up with no pictures? Seriously, it would be so much easier to explain with some images.

More articles on this would be great!

Here's a pic not the greatest but you can get the idea. Also the New Marine Aquarium by Mike Paletta has some info. The Reef Aquarium books by Sprung has more ideas. I'm in MacKenzie Towne if you want to have a look or check out some books send me a PM

Brian thanks for the pic.

What I am referring to (not sure about Albert) is a bit different though. In your pic, you basically have a PVC support structure so that you can get a larger reef wall without needing as much rock.

What I am referring to is drilling out the rock, and putting PVC inside the rocks, and connecting the PVC so that you can get rock to connect and be supported in ways you couldn't otherwise.

There was a great example of some rockwork done on RC but I can't find it right now.

WIth a PVC sub-structure as pictured above you want to be carefully to have good water flow through the substructure or you will get detrius build-up.

Looks to me like a red serpent star.

You're probably thinking Marc/Fudge's tank... There's a link to his thread on RC in the thread here:

Lando, good call I think you are correct.

Tony, you read my mind, that is the exact thread I was thinking of, you're good!

This is what I am talking about with cool PVC structures to defy gravity:
