How do I do this?

[LeonThePeon]

This is from Red Sea's website. How do I set up the rocks cape for this? for it to balance/pivot on such a small point in the middle? Think it's possible to do it without it leaning against the back wall? Got a 12' x 2' x 2' build and I want something like this in the middle 4' of the tank

(I'll eventually want to get a collection of corals like that too.

Use a wide base. Sometimes acrylic or egg crate. Acrylic rods, and Marco cement.
Marco has some good tutorials.

Finding the right rock is kind of the trick and probably the hardest part.

Ain't that the truth - Not a lot of places near by that has a good "selection" to choose from, and if you order online - it's kind of a crap shoot

Salty's advice is good. Ceramics from Vida Rock or PM are another option, but the price isn't acceptable to the vast majority of people. They released some new pieces at InterZoo

You can always find a large flat shelf piece and us it as the use for the structure. As long as you use sand on the bottom you will never see the plate and it will give you the look your looking for will being very stable. Just make sure you use a good cementing compound/Epoxy along with acrylic or fiberglass rods to anchor the structure to the base plate.
