Diy rock help please

[chickenofthesea]

LOL, Thanks Gentlemen. I can just imagine the look on my wife's face when I tell the realtor, "the more toilets the better!" LMAO. I may do one more from the sand in the front corner but I wanted as much sand bottom as possible cause I want to get a diamond goby or some other sand sifting/burrowing fish. I'm going to be adding just a little more sand than this but it will be when I seed the tank with live sand. And that is two rocks, the textures just allowed be to stick the smaller one right to the front of the large one. also I tried to design the rock to top skim a little and I think it does a good job of hiding the plumbing.

i also have made man made rock. first thing you need to do is clean the crushed oyster shells really good. i used 3 parts oyster shells 2 parts portland type 2 white cement and 2 parts rock salt from home depot. i think its called pollor cystal salt. i would have to go look. after 24 hours i pulled it out of the sand. let sit for 24 hours them let cure in fresh water for along time. i flushed out old water every day or so. it takes along time to get rid of the salt. after all the salt is depleted it makes the rock look really nice. hope this helps you.

@reefman- how long did it take to cure your rock?. I'm thinking of diy rock. Been really into this bonsai aquascaping look. Or crazy looking aquascaping. Not really into the traditional rock work of pile it on hope it sturdy, and I like the drilling, acrylic rod, epoxy aspect. But feel that diy rock would be best.

I like the shape of the rock leaves lots of space
