DIY basking platform ideas

how much rock can i probably safely use before it's too heavy? some of these are kinda big, and definitely heavy.... i wouldn't use more than two or three of the big ones, but i'm the paranoid sort and wonder if even that would be too much.... >.> *paranoid paranoid paranoid*

Too heavy for the tank, you mean? I wouldn't worry too much about that. Some people have huge "hardscapes" in their tanks without issue. The only real concern is small pressure points, which you can avoid by putting something between the rocks and the glass, like that plastic "eggcrate" that's used for lighting.
