Caribe Piranha
I recently read an article in which they recommended to keep the live rock separated from the substrate in order to prevent dead spots and detritus so I was wondering what can be used to accomplish this.
You can use alot of different things. Many people make platforms out of pvc pipe and eggcrate.
I just bought some flat acrylic from Jason at Clear Fabrications.
I also bought some 3/8" acrylic rod on ebay. I got 12' for $3.
I'm going to drill holes in the flat acrylic and glue in different lenghts of the rod. That will support the rock off the bottom of the tank and allow water movement under the rock.
Many arylic shops will make these for you and you can find some on ebay, but I'm cheap and will make my own.

Finn. No need to glue. The pegs will fit nice and tight. If you ever decided to reaquascape your stuck with pegs in places you might not want.
