I would assume the idea is to use them for breeding. In that case you need a floor in the cave rather than your substrate.

They are nice caves great idea, they look so much better than a pipe or square slate I might just try the same thing myself. :YMAPPLAUSE:

Congratulation ! That is not just a great idea but also a perfect job... Having all that equipments at your home, is it related to your profession ?

I also think your caves are very nice. They are so much more natural in appearance so they make the tank look more natural.

If you HAVEN'T got a angle-grinder and feel like you need one, you can get a 4.5" one [as in the picture] for somewhere between $20-30.

For example this from Harbour Freight Tools:
