Has anyone ever 'made' LR? There are a few products out there that claim 'make LR from cement. Is this true and if so does it encourage the filtration that LR is supposed to encourage. Has anyone out there had any expierence with this?
Thanks

When I worked at a lfs, my boss showed me a flyer he got from some husband/wife team in the Bahamas.
They had a live rock business going using lime rock I think, not quite sure though. They had 12 sites out in shallow water that they let seed for around a year. Then once a month they would go out and collect the rock from a site and replace it with new rock, ship out the old rock and kick back I guess till next month. What a life. I would like to do that for a living.
Here is another way:
