Making my own dead rock

[poop_head]

When you soak the rocks you've made do you soak it in RO/DI water or will regular tap water do fine. I've been using the ro/di water but using tap would be easier but I haven't used it cause of all the crap thats in regular tap water. Let me know thanks.

i say using ro/di water would be the safest bet.. but.. too much work for maybe nothing... so if i where to cured it in a tube.. id use regular tap water for 3 weeks then 1 or of ro/di then 2 weeks of ro/di salt mix...

1 part portland II cement ,.......4 parts argonite sand,...... 1 part crush coral or oyster shells.... u mix them all in a tub.. (make a perdy dry mix.. for it will be more porous then wet mix... get another tub.. fill it up with about 7'' of argonite sand..,.. shape sand to form a mold.. put " the fake rock mix" into the sand form.. cover .. mix over with more argonite sand.. wait till dry (1 or 2 days) then BAM!!!! u have your rock..... look up GARF and ther argocrete rock for mor info....
