i created a cave for some of my fish to hide in and it was super cheap compared to buying one in a store
i bought a package of slate from home depot for 8 dollars that i took out back and broke up into a few smaller pieces
sat down for about 10 minutes and stacked them how i liked then took it apart and with the 6 dollar tube of fish tank safe sillicone i put it back together

...let it sit for the 24 hour cure time and you gotta bitchen cave and for less than you can buy in a store

i also was able to pick up a sheet of laminate for countertops with a granite pattern that was almost the perfect size for the back of my tank so i used it for a background for only 12 dollars

by the way if your going to "do it yourself" make sure the sealant you get is aquarium safe obviously the stuff i used is made by DAP it says on the blue tube household adhesive sealant 100% silicone then under says Aquarium safe i picked it up for 6 dollars and used half the tube
