i've heard of people using type2 and gu (portland) but type 10hydro is the hydraulic and its needs the antihydro additive mixed into it.

Any experiences you've had with any type would be appreciated,I suspect because its underwater maybe the buildup wont occur?but might raise salinity slightlly as the minerals leech from the cement,maybe im thinking too much into this....

i've used regular type 2 in all my rocks and as long as i freshwater cured them, haven't had any deposits or salinity problems. Lots of coralline growth on them now tho if that counts as a deposit :P
