DIY MARSHALL Live Rock

Here are some pics of the diy Marshall live rock i made this rock weighs 114 pounds and its one of 3 that i will be putting in my 150 gallon tank switching out almost all my rock for this because you can make it look how ever you want.

 

where do you get this rock?

 

i didnt buy it i made it my self out of portland cement.

 

Very nice, good job!!

 

thats some cool lookin rock youve made there. just a quick question regarding the weight. that much weight centralized in a small area wont caused any problems due to pressure on the glass? this is more rhetorical than anything because its just something that came to mind.

if anyone wants to know how to do this i think i am going to make a video and post i have to make one anyways for my reef club meeting so let me know what u guys think because this is alot different to do than what u have seen so far.

 

lol, youre asking if we want a video? thats like asking a whino if he wants a bottle of mouthwash.

 

I have just got to bet that you totally loved playing in mud and making stuff with Play-Doh as a kid, didnt you?



This would be a very fun project to try !

 

the weight is very spread out and it should be just fine its prob going to lighten up some when ever i get them cured out because i put rock salt in the mix so these rocks will be very porous and u when u get something under water it never feels as heavy as it does just holding it. I have never done anything like this before but i have a engineering mind and im pretty good with hands on stuff because of my mechanical back ground. i have seen alot of videos on this stuff but usually man made rock always looks so rounded and not to unnatural didnt want that so i found some ways to make rocks look just about anyway u want.

 

well thought out then. was just curious. and the rock salt will just dissolve?
