Not sure how many threads there are on this but thought I'd share my first attempt on making some Live Rock with everyone.
Mixture;
1 part portland cement. (I'm using #10 gray)
2 parts coarse salt (More or less depending on how porus I want to make it.)
3 parts crushed coral
Here's some pics of everything for those that love pics.
Play Sand with water added to form molds & molding tote. 64L tote. Play sand $8 for 2 bags. Tote on sale for $3.
1/2" drill to hold may cement mixer and the 5 gallon pail I'm mixing in.
Florida Crushed Coral. 40lbs for $40.00
Portland #10 Gray Cement. $13 for 40kg (88lbs).
RODI Water. $2 a jug. Protective Gloves $5.
18 Gallon Curing tote. On sale $5.
As anyone who lives in Canada knows you can't DYI anything without a Tim Horton's Coffee. $1.52
Now to make my molds and mix the mixture. More pics to come a little later.
