Believe it or not that rock just rests up against the back wall of the tank. It was made in a mold of the back of the tank so that it would fit like a glove, the rock is flat and smooth on the back side so it won't scratch the glass.

More detail...... Well the back wall is made from reef sand , crushed coral, lots of old hermit shells, crushed oyster shells, and a little bit of concrete mix to hold it all together. than it has to go though a curing process which involves drying, bathing, drying bathing... soaking, rinseing, drying, washing... blaa blaa blaa, its a long process to cure it so it doesn't wreck your water. The nice thing about doing it this way is that it becomes live rock for your tank its very porous and lits of little caves that I made in it for all the little critters of the tank. The pictures don't do it justice its hard to see all the little details in the rock. The hard thing about making it is finding the right mixture if all the ingredients. I think it turned out ok though.
