Aragocrete / LR

[torombolo]

Hi,
I live in Puerto Rico, its been very hard to find the appropiate materials to get Aragocrete. For the Aragonite sand I could only find 1 bag in all the big or recognized LFS arround. For the cement I can't really find white cement.

I live 40 min. from shore but that is not the way I want to go.
Has anyone used any other materials, anyone on the North East side of the Island have any god ideas, or any of the great experts at Chataquariums have another recipie???

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Torombolo, welcome to RDO!

I think that you should post your question on the discussion forum where it will get more visibility. I have no idea how to do agrocrete, but I know that quite a few members cooked their own.

Crushed coral, and #3 Portland cement is what you want, not just plain white concrete mix.
It has to be #3 portland mix. Its a ph thing.
Anything else will raise your ph to heck and back,and possibly leach nasties.
