Personal preferences play a pivotal role in aquascaping with live rock and a popular option is to stack rock high in the back of aquarium. This style is aesthetically appealing and it is a versatile stacking method and aquarists can choose a wide variety of pieces of live rock up to 1.5 per gallon of water. Live rock pieces can be separated into three groups: leg pieces, flat pieces, and bulk pieces. Leg pieces are used as legs to lift the main portion of the live rock off the bottom of the tank. Flat pieces are often shaped like platters or plates and they lie across leg pieces connecting to other pieces. Bulk pieces make aquascaping hobby creative and they feature large and wide pieces of live rocks. They are used as mid level leg pieces creating second level bridges and facial pieces providing bulk to edging. Adding substrate first and placing live rock on top will make structures unstable and the substrate should be kept as open as possible. Many aquarists use live rocks to hide filter parts, heaters and to create a more natural look in aquarium environment.
