If you can do your wall in sections or if your building a wall small enough to fit...
the back of the toilet works good for curing the rock ....water gets replenished every time you flush!!! Just a thought ...

After considering the weight problem cement will really add to the issue. The 180 gallon is made out of really thick glass, add cement and it will weight too much. I just picked up a custom 58 gallon tank and I think I will play with the cement idea with that one. I can easily use it as a cure tank.

I have seen the back of toilets being used as a cure for man made rocks, it is a brilliant idea. I would need a really big toilet to cure enough for my 180 gallon tall!

I have been told that the "great stuff" spray foam is probably sufficient to use since I will be covering all of it and the VU rays will not hit it. Is this correct or should I find black pond foam?

I really appreciate all the great info. I think I may have to become a picture taker and chronicle the build once it gets past the thought stage.
