thanks...I will check out the sites to give me ideas to better my artificial live rock making skills...I have been building artificial reefs for a couple of years now....here is a couple of pictures on how mixing color with krylon paint, surfboard resin pigments,and red coraline color epoxy sticks to try and get the live rock look.....what do you think.....be honest oh the ornamental corals were not my choice I built the reef and my customer put the corals in
oh dont worry using spray paint is safe and does not harm the fish after it has been through a curing process....though Im always open to learn new techniques....such as live rock aquaculture (turning dead rock back into a living rock) in a big 250 gallon vat.... havent tried that yet but its on my to do list for now fake live rock it is......taaaa daaaaam!!!

Try the GARF website for some ideas, and ask.com also has some good stuff in the DIY (do it yourself) sections.
I'd bet that a whole lot of hawaiian would-be reefleepers would love to get some homemade liverock, so that could be another market for you, maybe.
