best way to mount chalice?

not sure how to mount my chalice, but it has a solid under side so i am thinking just glue that to a rock? and just keep the sides free and up in the air? or does it need to be mounted on the side to a rock?

can anyone give me tips on what the best way to mount a chalice is?

i tried that... i think may be with a combo of good current, light sand and a diamond goby, it always seems like the chalice gets covered partially? do you think that is okay?

Sand on the tissue of the chalice is not good.

I place my Tyree red watermelon about 8-10 from 4-54W TEK2 T5 and it looks more like the pink watermelon chalice. My golden eye is about 15-16 inches down. Both have good turbulent flow.
Anyone know where golden eye should be place?
