use kisstheze mixture/ and dry mix in a bucket. use agrocrete. U can also use white vinegar to speed up the cure process to about a month.

Can anyone post a few pictures that show a close-up of homemade rock. I understand the mixture, but was wondering how and if it could look somewhat like the real deal. I am game for trying it though.

It will not look like real live rock exactly until it gets growth on it .... I posted a whole bunch of pictures. I've sold some of mine inthe past and if you do a search in the nano's thread for Overanalyzer's 20 Gallon nano you will see lots of it!! I'll see if I can get the link to my ancient thread on this stuff!

Great thread - Since I can never seem to find the larger shelf pieces at my LFS, I'm going to try this 'rock recipe'. :) That's really cool Squidd.
