i great way to get otherwise undoable formation is to simply peg them.
by that i mean you take two rocks and fit them together how you want. then make note of thse best contact points between the two rocks. remove the rocks and drill a shallow hole into both rocks at the noted contact points.
stick a small plexi-glass or comparable rod into one of the holes and then stick the other right on top of it. this keep the rockwork VERY sturdy and also allows for some really neat aquascaping. when done properly nothing will show but the rocks,
this is particularly helpful when your only want to stack in the middle of a tank not touching any walls.

The power heads are in their just to keep it flowing while it cycles i guess... As for the live rock 50 lbs of it is in their of figi plus two of those pieces are in a 10 gal QT. But there is also around 30-40 lbs in there. The bottom of that is (i dont remember what kind) extremly dense, something brazilian i think... I'm going to buy some more when i go to PA this weekend finish rounding off the arc.
