Basicly, aragacrete is home made "liverock". A mixture of portland cement, aragonite sand and crushed coral or oyster shells. You can make it into panels using eggcrate as a lattice. Lots of info on making and curing the stuff on garfs website.

Hi Kryten,

Here's a link to another forum where I posted a step by step account of my 75G. project. In it I built a false wall using eggcrate to which I zip tied my L.R. (you have to scroll through the post till you hit that particular section).

My tank is set up somewhat like that. Here's a link to the specs and build process:

Cool, thanks you guys. Harv, I'd love to come and take a look at your tank in person one of these days.
