First, Dude...Paragraphs...it makes things SO much easier to read. 
Clay was probbaly not the best idea. I'm an avid ceramic artist, and have made many things for my tanks. but they have to be fired to somewhere in excess of 1000* (right now I use B mix with grog, to cone 4 then glazed to cone 6) or they will just melt away the first time they get wet, or crumble under pressure if they dry out. it can work horozontally, but vertically, probbaly not. Pictures would be a great way to get a better idea of what you did. you set up sounds cool anyways, i'd love to see pics of the whole thing!
also, where did you get the clay from? clay from an art store will be nice and steralized, BUT in nature clay works as a natural filter (usefull in vivs!) but, it can be full of stuff (waste, chemicals ect....) you dont want in with anything living. just a thought. you can clean it, but its a long boring process.
In my vivs I use a "mono foam type thing"... its very perminent, and fills spaces very nicely. you can cover it with silicone and fiber. it looks very nice, and its what a lot of people do
