A piece of Daniel's handy work:
This piece serves as a retaining wall to give the tank a second level. The pictures were taken before the rock salt was rinsed out completely. The rock is even more porous now.

Daniel how did the rest work out? Is it brittle or did it firm up nice? Also curious about porosity? The rock salt do the trick? Guess I need to come check that out.
