I can't seem to find that perfect rock to place it my tank, if I can only make or create the shape I want this would really make me so happy. I need a recipe of materials needed to make this dream come true. Please chime in if you have done this before, thanks.
 
Made a kind of a cool tower out of base rock from Natures Ocean. Use on one rock: superglue gel + apoxie sculpt (natural color) + superglue gel on the next rock. Push the pieces together compressing the apoxie sculpt into the nooks and crannies. Then while holding them together spray the glued/apoxie sculpted area as best you can with BSI superglue accelerator (Bob Smith Industries). The bond is almost instantaneous and sets up almost instantaneous. So you can make ledges, arms, limbs, overhangs, etc. Tip: before you spray with the accelerator, you can dust the joint with the powdered rock and small bits to further blend/cover the joint. Hope this helps. Happy New Year!

Now that's a rock Big G, nicely done, if mine is half that good I'll be so proud
 
The best part it was just like when I was a kid playing in the sand box. Fun!
