Aquascaping with other than LR
What artificial reef can I use besides LR (I have plenty) to create many more hiding places, little tunnels, caves, etc. I though of hiding several tubes of PVC under the LR but its hard to hide it and it looks ugly. More LR doesn't help because I have limited space and LR doesn't have lots of big holes and caves to hide in.

Re: Aquascaping with other than LR
The only other thing I would use,is some dry base rock.It looks natural and will eventually become live rock.

Re: Aquascaping with other than LR
take your pvc pipes, cover them with aquarium silicone then roll them in agronite sand and crushed coral, let it dry and wah-lah, you have a cave. you can do the same with cement and any type of limestone (could be wrong about the limestone) and eventually it will become "live" as well.
