Have you considered quality base rock? Usually $300 will get you 100lbs or so. Doubt making it will get you anything better or save you much in the end, plus no rediculous curing requirements. You can also often purchase live rock from others for $3/pound or less.

Yeah I've considered it, but like said some of the structures I'd be making may be hard to balance pieces together. Also I will have lots of time for curing while im getting things together and built etc so that's not a concern. Plus I think it could be a cool learning experience.

Mike, {skimmer king}, made some once and I had pieces in my tank. Thought it was as good as any live rock I had. It was heavier though and I dont think as porous.

What Steve mentioned is a better option I think, except for the problem I,m having. Which I assume curing such as others have done would fix. Its very porous and light in comparison to any other rock I have seen or used.
