Base for Live Rock

I like to keep my rocks off my substrait as much as posable but most of my rocks are large and heavy because I collected them in the sea.
Much of my new rock is hollow PVC with cement coating it. I am soon going to re aquascape and I will keep the rocks lifted off the gravel with these
structures. When it is in the tank under the real rocks, it should not be visable except for the column legs.
This first picture is of course the construction.
The thing cost less than a buck and took about an hour to complete

Paul I think this is a good idea.Wondering is that cement you used and if so what kind?Will you let this cure and would'nt the cement raise the ph(if its cement)

About a quarter of my rock is made from that Sakrete Mortor Mix and I never had any problems with pH. As a matter of fact, I never had to adjust it and it is perfect.
Here are some more rock supports that are in the tank.
