DIY styrofoam and cement background!

Hi folks, I'm new here and I just finished a neat styrofoam and cement background for my 110 tank that I am turning into an African Cichlid tank. I been in saltwater reefs for about thirty years and just tired of the saltwater, anyway I have the whole project documented on my site if you want to check it out, let me know what you think.

That's definitely one of the coolest DIY projects I've seen here or anywhere else. When you took the knife and torch to the styrofoam, on what did you base your rock formations? (e.g., something you'd seen in nature or a book, etc)

looks kinda like those big boulders in lake malawi to me.
