Hey, any one made diy rock in the wpg? What kinda substrate did you use? I was thinking of using crushed oyster in the recipe, but wasn't sure where to get it here in the city.

You can get it at a feed store.... I've been told to watch for phosphates though... ya might wanna read up on that at GARF...

I've got some sitting in the basement, haven't gotten around to curing it yet. I found a couple places in the yellow pages, but I forget what I found it under

My whole tank is made from this stuff. It has been going for two years with no problems. The Coralin has covered all over, and I only used a golf ball size live rock to seed it.
