    I had a guy in my shop the other day who saw the diy rock in a box. He straight out asked me if I have SW. Turned out he just moved his fam here and has a 90g reef setup and no place to put it. He asked me if I was interested I said Hell Yea after hearing what it is. He said $550, I said $400 worth of fishing gear and free bait for a year, he said Hell yeah, came home told the missus, she said $%^##$ no you've got to much to do around here! so yeah that's where I stand right now. I can't even make the trade cuz if I own it I will build it.:)

    It's a portland cement based liner for drinking water holding tanks. It's made up of silica, limestone, ferric oxide, calcium carbonate, and magnesium something or other. Very acidic while curing tho but FDA/EPA approved and harmless once cured. Leaches alot of pH. I rushed this batch when I got word my lil dude had been found and it's still leaching. pH was 8.6+ this morning.

    Or, it could be a pistol shrimp. I always wanted a pistol/goby pair.

    Nice tank and I really love your DIY rock.
    Can't wait to see life in there, my guess is a mantis too.
