For the " wall " I poured this mixture on a piece of eggcrate with plastic vapour barrier under the eggcrate on my basement floor ... then cured it in a kids wading pool ... the curing took forever

For the rocks I did much the same as you as far as the forming them and so on ... the testing of the PH and frequent water changes is key IMO

I recently make a whole bunch as well and used roughly the same recipie as Rasta.
Oyseter shells makes it nice and porus!
