Re: Jorgen's First time with a 180g!

i didn't take any pics while doing it but it's pretty simpel to make. looks great. But needs 4-6 weeks for it to fully cure. PH of water in curing vats is 9.o+ def do NOT want that in the tank too soon. It's basically a mix of concrete and any type of "fat" calcium thing. IE argonite/coral rubble/oyster shells. 4-5 parts of that to 1 part concrete and just enuff water to hold it together. Put the junk in some type of mold. Baked clay in the oven or playdough. Homemade pladough of course w/o food coloring. or even sand. Plop the mixture in let sit for 24-36 hrs and there it is. I can get ya more details if your interested but i only invested about $50 for my 200#'s of rock. And no aptasia or any other baddies!!!
