I would just use dead coral or liverock... you should be able to find a flat rock to suit your purpose

Use a masonry drill bit to drill holes through your lr, then get a pvc tube to slide through the holes, and make a stand in the shape of a H out of pvc. I hope my explaination is clear, I have seen it done well and it looks great.
