I did ask he said he "Can't say" that's why I am asking around on forums to see what people use.

White portland cement and crushed oyster shells are the main ingredients for diy liverock. I found some at ok builders in vernon last year when I tried my hand at it. Fun making the custom shapes but took months till I could put them in a tank. The rock needs frequent water changes till the PH is stable.

ive never soaked the stuff i use goes straight in the tank and stuff grows like a weed on it

the only thing i can say about what i use is it is "Albert's special sauce"

guy i know did a chemical analysis on it to see if it was reef safe before we used it, it's the same product i use for all the rock structures Albert and I build
