Here are a few pics of mine when I first set it up. I will take some up to date ones when I get back home...
It's diy rock I made and tried to sculptor together in the tank. I might change the right side a little not the happiest with it.

Someone had asked this already and didn't see a response. If they did I apologize for reasking. The question was how does one compensate with not having the 1-2 pounds of live rock when incorpoating the minimalist approach? Do u put it in the sump? Or, do u not really need 1-2 pounds per gallon?

here is my initial aquascape:
each 'island' is actually a hollow boulder so that fish and crustaceans
can live and shelter inside. the arches have proven to be great spots
for corals and for the fish to dart in and out of.
since then, i added a boulder at the extreme right for an aggressive coral
(frogspawn).
i know this is mush sparser than the normal rule for live rock,
but i put a couple of big pieces of live rock in my refugium;
they help support the mangroves.

This thread has some awesome looking tanks, so I figured this is the one I should ask my question. What do most of you use to build ur large arches/ hanging shelves? The last time I did my tank I tried to drill my lace/ live rock with a 3/4" bit so I could fit 1/2" pvc inside for support. Needless to say it was a nightmare, I broke many pieces before getting a structure I liked. I also used holdfast 2 part epoxy around the edges. When you drill your rock what bit size/ type do ya'll prefer, and what epoxy is the strongest/best IYO. Also I would like to uselive rock to build my next structure, every experience I have had putting epoxy on the rock it seems to not get a very good hold. Is it best to let it dry out for an hour or 2? Thanks-
Heres a pic of my structure, I would like to build the left side up more.

I can see 1/4" being easier to work with, what kind of rock did you drill through and what are driveway markers made of? Thanks- 4 the info

It is Fiji Live Rock. The markers say fiberglass reinforced. at first I dried out the rock used aqua putty stuff and it held together good so the I put some salt water for a few months to cure it. When I pulled the rock from the water the putty didn't hold well and I was disappointed so I was reading on the threads and found a guy that did it that was so off to depot I went. It drilled threw the rock almost like butter.
What got me to do it was this thread with the bonsai rock work and I liked it so much I had to try it my self I'm very happy with it yesterday I change my substrate from live sand to crushed coral and got rid of a yellow head gobi that made a mess out of my sand and corals now the water is crystal clear. I will get some pictures up soon.
