Small island rock?

[xthunt]

What can I use for making small islands if I want to put stuff down in the sandbed (ricordea, zoas I think would make a good island). Maybe about 2-3 inches across, 1 inch high or so, not completely flat. I have Caribsea base rock leftover, but even if I break them up, they end up being ball shaped. I tried taking a hacksaw to cut in half, but it wasn't going anywhere. I see those frag plug island things, but kinda expensive for what it is. I wouldn't mind paying for something if price is decent. What does everyone else use?

I found some nice small pieces in a dry rock bin at a lfs. Don't know if that's an option for you though. 

Maybe instead of just trying to smash the rock use a flat blade screwdriver or a chisel and a hammer to make the shapes you want.

I drilled a few holes I'm a line where I wanted it to fracture. Took a chisel and hammer and it broke just how I wanted it to. Also, a hacksaw should work. Takes a little time. Maybe get a fresh blade with coarser teeth to chew thru it

I used caribsea life rock which breaks really well and nicely too. Its also purple and bacteria infused.

Try smashing some base rock into small pieces and gluing together your own custom piece.

Thanks for the replies. I ordered two small frag plug rocks off ebay from "reefcreators".
