We setup an aquarium for one of the schools in Pa and I decided to make rocks that goes around the overflow and shape it the way i want.

Rocks were in fresh water for a while and then I added them to half of the tank (left side).

After 5 month of running caroline algae is seen in most of the rock. Lots of live and corals are growing on it too.

I know some people who took half of these rocks and tried in their aquarium and came to conclusion that this does not work. I decided to put them in a public area (high school) to show everybody that we can do it and we can save the ocean by making some rocks.

Here I have pictures of before and after and I have tons of other picture I will be uploading whenever I get the server traffic taken care of..
