Addictive Reef Keeping disappointing

[Bnutz]

I recently ordered shelf rock from addictive reef keeping. 35 lbs mixed large and small. The rock was packaged well and arrived in a timely fashion, but every rock except the small pieces have straight edges. Anyone know how to bust these shelves to make a natural look? Extremely disappointed in the order because it makes a natural aquascape almost impossible.

I ordered the large ones and my order was the same. Just took a hammer to it to make small pieces

I have used these. No issue with straight edges and no pod hotel required

Yea that's kinda my plan. I really wanted some larger shelf rocks. It's going in a IM 100 and I don't want a bunch of 4in shelf rocks. I'll probably bust them up and use for the pillars and order some marco shelf.

We select carefully selected pieces only. They also look good on light ground in a tank of Tanganyika (Malawi) type. Irregular edges resemble mountain peaks. That is why it should be ensured that most of them are natural.
