if you ever wanted to make your own rock here is the best write up on it. check out the rock further down the page, it looks very natural.

Sure looks better than the big chunks I made a few years back. Same method though. I'm sure if you take your time it can turn out that nice :)

BTW how is my DIY rock holding up Ace?

[Mr Cob]

Nice looking rocks!

If you plan on making some Jeff, let me know. I would like to help.

I know most of you haven't seen the rocks in my tank that Patrick (OU812Pezz) made, but that guy has it DOWN. I wish I knew his recipes/techniques....

[Jeff]

i remember the pieces that he made, they were great.

Sure looks nicer than the limestone I am using out of my back yard. :) What is the average cure time after they are finished drying?

[Jeff]

they say about 6 weeks, but one person holds his in the sand for a week to harden then sits it out in the sun for 30 days to completely cure. he then puts it into water to leach out the impurities (kure) for 2-3 days.
