Hey guys me and a friend have decided to get into this whole "green" saltwater tanks. were thinkin of making most of our own rock.
Does anyone know where to get #1,#2,#3 portland cement, not the mixes just straight up cement. home depot had a weird T-10 GU kind and decided to pass lol.

Thanks!

You could also ping "redbelly" and inquire as to his source of cement for the DIY green rock he has made (it might also be more cost-effective to just buy his!).

Thanks,
