This is what garf makes there rock out of.

1. One bag of CaribSea Sea floor special grade aragonite sand.
2. One bag of CaribSea Aruba Shell aragonite Gravel.
3. One bag of White cement that is a low alkalinity type of cement.
At GARF we use Riverside white cement that cost about $22 per bag.
4. A small quantity - 2 or 3 cubic feet of plastic sawdust.
At GARF we use Plexiglas and Lexan drill shavings that we get free from a computer manufacturer.
5. One bucket of fresh water for mixing with the cement and one bucket of fresh water for washing your tools

they let it cure for about a month otherwise the ph would go sky high in the tank.
The plastic shavings are to help coraline algae growth.
