i built my wall with a product called EMACO R400 architectural. It is the same as what everyone refers to as "Thorite" but that brand is no longer available. It cures relatively fast, and i havent noticed any ph problems in my tank yet. Any swimming pool mortar would work as well so if you call a local pool repair shop they might be able to recommend a product.

Fishward. I love the look of your wall. It reminds me of the structures that the Rain Forest Cafe have. I think the EMACO R400 might be worth a try due to it's smooth texture. I would imagine though that any lime based cement is going to have PH issues.

thanks Joe... fairly easy to do.. really wanted to mimic a reefwall in a really limited space so i couldn't stack... all you have to do is make sure you cure it underwater for a significant amount of time and once you change the water and you dont see a ph change for a week or so, start on salt water and do the same...

Thanks guys.
I am just making a very small amount of rock for the tank so I dont want to buy a huge bag of concrete. I want to try a real lagoon type tank this time with very little LR and a hell of a lot of sand. It would probably be better to just use LR but I kind of want to make the shapes exactly how I want
