Default garf aragocrete question

I have made 1 rock so far. Using the same methods. I went to the hardware
store and bought a bag of white concret, then mixed it with crushed coral at
a mix of 1 part concret and 5 or 6 parts of crush coral. I had a foam bucket
ready with a few inch layer of damp sand, I made my shape in the sand, layed
the mix of concret and crushed coral in the shape and left it overnight. The
next day I have a fairly hard rock.

I tryed a second time using less concret and everything fell apart. Since
then I havn't made any more, but I have enough left there to make about 5
more rocks, then I need to buy some more crushed coral. You go through the
stuff quick.

I havn't looked into any other gear to use inplace of the crushed coral yet.
I guess one day I will. Crushed coral isn't cheap, well not here anyhow.

anyone try this stuff? The shapes look awesome and if it does indeed take
to becoming live when seeded, it'd make a nice base (from the pics anyhow)

I've never ordered from them but am considering it, just looking for
feedback, good or bad.

Thanks
