    i have these 3 items that a i got for free, idk what they are made of, ik one has some plastic on it.

    now my question is, if i clean them up really good, take any plastic off it and then coat them with aragonite/cement mix will it make a good live rock?

    you can I wold jusy make sure to cure them correctly.

    also I would try and dip them a couple of times in the mix to get a good thick layer around them, also being that they are plastic I would lightly sand the outside of them to get the mix to stick, not a smooth finish you want it rough to get it to stick.
