  1. Cutting live rock with a hack saw?

    Anyone tried this before? I am thinking about cutting some of my live rock in half, so that a smooth surface is created which could then form a nice stable base, or maybe glue nicely to a back wall or overflow. I thought this might be a fun way to get more creative with the aquascaping, while at the same time keeping the structure open and off the sand bed, preventing dead spots.
