I need some new equipment and I have plenty of DIY rock left over. What I would really like is a nano tank like a jbj or aquapod. However, I will also be interested in a hob fuge, powerheads, ro/di units (small ones/10gpd is more than enough) test kits, refractometer, ph meter, digital thermometer. I'm sure there's other stuff I could find a use for so if you have anything that you would like to trade just send me an email at screamin_reefers@yahoo.com DO NOT OFFER TO BUY BECAUSE IT IS NOT ALLOWED AND THIS THREAD WILL GET CLOSED!
mods if anybody does anything to get the thread closed can you please just delete their post and not my thread.

I don't have anything to trade, but I was wondering what you use to make your rock, yours looks so much better then mine, lol.

I just use crushed oyster shells and cement. Its the mixture that matters. Took me a long time to get it right.

I do not see any problems with the thread so far. Great idea IMO. I hope he can do some trading. So long as he does not turn around and try to sell the things he traded for.

lol bit too much of a hassle. good idea though. always a way i guess. No i actually need the stuff I am trading for because when I move to GA I will be getting an apartment and need a smaller setup. Thanks for keeping an eye on me

I figured out a cool way to make some sweet rocks. Once I take pics and stuff i post a thread. but i use a 5 to 1.5-2 ratio of Oyster shell to cement. after pouring the cement into the sand mold i use my fingers and poke holes down through the cement into the send on the other side do you get bumps that stick out. also make a bunch of just blob pieces and took ones that came out like crap and just mixed up just pure cement into a mortar about the thickness of drywall mud and stuck the pieces together, made the best rock I've done.
