How do you place your live rock?

I used 1/4" thick egg crate I found on amazon. was like $12 for 4 - 12" pieces that clip together. didn't want to scratch the glass. too expensive.

Makes sense. It does seem like the bottom glass on most tanks gets scratched a lot.

I used PVC 2x4 ceiling tile cut to fit on the bottom of mine. Then siliconed it all along the edge. I left about 1 to 2inch buffer just in case I ever wanted to remove it and wouldn’t risk cutting the silicone seams on the tank. I think one piece was like 12 bucks or less

Is it hollow to have some "squish"?

Where did you find it? Does it come in colors?

Get rid of that pesky sand altogether. . . problem solved!

All my tanks are bare bottom and I prefer base rock that is flattened on one side to sit against the glass.

Yes, but I have Halichoeres Wrasses which require sand.

That said yeah it would be pretty messed up to take away your fish's bed!

I got mine at menards.. I know they have white and black but they only sell it by the single sheet for what they stock in store, I believe.

With a ton of burrowers I place my rocks on the bottom or on egg crate. Only way to avoid a tumble.
