Default Re: Home Made Live Rock/Bedrock?!?

To all the Fine Folks in Fish Land,
Just had another fun day of making more rock(seriously!). I only had enough crushed oyster shell to make one large rock. I tried a new technique by using large plastic cups to create large caves through the rock. I think it will work! My one concern is that the cement will be smooth around the cup which would look awefully unnatural However, with the last batch I made last week, I could easily chip and chisel the rock with a large screwdriver. So I think I won't be sweating it If this one turns out half as cool as I think it will, I will be off to by some more crushed oyster shell, after all, I do have a 96lb bag of Portland Type I/II cement! That is the only size they had oh_no Oh well, it cost $7, can't complain!

Here, check out these pics and let me know if you have any ideas you'd like me to try! I'm game! Like I said, 96lbs! I havn't made a dent yet!
