Live rock arrangement

[EchoStar]

Hey so I just got my shipment in from reef cleaners. I asked for medium sized rocks. And they sent six massive rocks and 2 rocks the size of my hand. I am completely baffled on what to do. One of the rocks is so large it has to be over 10lbs by it self. I have a 50gal cube tank so I'm very limited on floor space for these very large rocks. I cut some cardboard up to make a tank floor template. Any idea on how to break these rock or make them fit better. I'm open to all options because this was not the rock I was expecting from them

I like what you have planned, but if you want to make the rocks smaller, a hammer and an old flat head screwdriver will make big rocks littler rocks.

hammer and a chisel. That's what I would do.

Agree with the above. Table a hammer and chisel and break em up!

Nice, how'd you do it?

I'd like to break some of my rocks down but still not sure. They are already in the tank and they are stable so I'm about 50/50 on the idea right now.

I also have a 50 gallon cube.

I would only break the big rock. Pic 3 looked good as a top down view to me.

Oh I don't think you did anything yet. IDK they all look pretty decent to me. Maybe that bottom left one is a little large but the rest look pretty managable. Just throwing stuff out there and showing interest. Sorry if I'm being annoying as I feel that I am lol.

After washing them and playing with the arrangements most of the night I finally found a layout I like. Now I just got to figure out how to get the same layout in the tank.. wish me luck
