I cable tied the rocks into a basic shape by drilling them and attaching to each other or to an egg crate frame in the case of the back walls - then used foam to fill some of the gaps and hide the ties...then hacked away any foam not needed - then epoxyed it and added sand/gravel while still wet. No idea if its non-toxic......but nothing is dead yet!
As you say - lots of hiding places, at night every fish just vanishes ....... and thats a LOT of fish

Update:

Started to get a LOT of brown algae but i have added a clean up crew that have removed half of it in a couple of days! So efficient i will prob have to move a few on when it settles down...monster mex turbos are like algae eating gold balls!

Also made a net frame to keep all my jumpers in!

Some random shots:







Will get the rest of the corals in tomorrow and will use the zoas i have to cover the silicone that holds the rock to the glass in the places where the gravel didn't stick.....like here where it was fine till Mr bluespot decided he want to remove it!
