My first thought was tacky, but Damn that is COOL. I especially like the idea of creating your own rock. I had been looking into that a while back but i couldnt find a decent "recipe" that addressed the problems of using concrete... anybody know of any good ways to create your own rock let me know!

Look around GARF.org actually there is a lot of good info there, but specifically, what you're looking for can be found in the left hand side navigation window under "how to pages" "aragocrete" and "Eddie Postma's famous aragocrete classes" scroll down and a recipe is there. I haven't done it, but it really does seem like a good idea; a future project for me perhaps.

That's what I was thinking. If it's for a FOWLR tank then it's pretty cool. For a reef tank it's questionable.

Dont get me wrong...I applaud him for the work he put into it. The heads look very good.Its a novel idea. I guess it depends what you want the focus of your tank to be. For me, when I look at my tank I want it to take me away from civilization, things man made.It is like my own little piece of nature(as best we can recreate).I hate all the equipment being in the tank,but until I get the sump up and running I have to put up with it. Even in my fresh water tank, I try to hide the equipment and decorate the tank as naturally as possible.I agree with Greg,I think for me it would also be to distracting.
