I have a few REALLY heavy rocks - is their anything I can put under them in my 22g? They are REALLY heavy - I might not risk it...

Can you get a peice of plexi to line the bottom area where the rock will go.You can put it under the substrate.

Plastic egg-crating is what we use for our big boulders. Keeps it so they won't smash through the tank (under your substrate of course).

Egg-crate looks like a plastic screen that is thick. It's easy to cut to size and is usually .25-.5" thick. You see it used alot with old undergravel filters.

If you ask at the hardware store for light difuser they will give you egg crate.
It is usually in the isle with flouresent light fixtures etc.
