    If I was ever to setup a freshwater tank again I would definitely do that to the background. Very cool.

    Im sure it can be done to look like live rock. But thats a lotta weight.

    its going to take about a month to cure if you use portland cement
    you can get more expensive cement (chesapeake sticks in my mind but not positive) that hydrates much faster... within days.

    but my family business is Maryland Concrete Inc. so if you have any questions about concrete I have the answers
