Try the round one. Its really easy. Draw shapes of round rocks on the styrofoam and then shape up each of the "rocks" edges to make them rounded.

The cement will increase the pH of the water initially. So if you are rearing tangan cichlids, this will not be much of a problem. However, if you are rearing other types of fish that require more acidic waters, you can soak the background in the tank for a few days to remove the alkaline effect.
