    I'm wondering about the rock. Do they contain sawdust to help add texture?

    If so, if the wood that the sawdust came from is Galvanized(spelling?), doesn't that contain copper/iron/zinc. wouldn't that cause unneeded metals be added into the system?

    The rock I think he is using is made from Aragonite Sand, Portland cement, (and possibly some plastic shavings). It is called Aragocrete and you can actually make your own. See the thread under DIY making your own Rock. There is a whole section on the GARF website about making the mixture, the rock shapes and, most importantly, curing the rock!!
