Man Made Live Rock poll?

[lastlight]

I was mostly referring to a tank full of the stuff. I think Dez mostly has live rock and just made some fancy cement covers for his closed loop. His was very well done and yes his tank looks incredible.

when i have the time to set up my pico im acctualy going to try some.. i found
http://www.cerameco.com/

and they seem pretty legit. from what ive herd from people that acutally have bought from them they acctually work..

plus they have some awesome designs... i hate aquascapeing...

its deffinatly not cheaper though... its basically base rock when you get it and you have to seed/cure it yourself.. i was quoted 150-200$ for 30 lbs.

I think it's selling yourself short for long term aesthetics of the tank. You can buy dry rock fairly cheap and even used live rock at a decent price. I'll have a bunch of rock that I'm selling shortly for $3/pound, just because it doesn't fit in with my landscaping. For that kind of price, why bother with a bunch of cement and the work involved making it?

I purchased some from down east. I paid for the the more expensive ones with lots of live coral on them. They said it would be ok to ship to calgary via post. I paid about 150.00$. When I opened the box there was very little coral on it and it was all dead. It looked nothing like on the web site. Win some lose some, Don

depends on the type/maker. Seem some DIY that looks great, other that look like total cr*p.

If buying though (not trying DIY) for the price would say look for true LR or LR that has dried out for sale.
