Grout
I am going to make some live rock tomorrow, but i just want to be assured that it is okay to use grout instead of cement. i will be using keracolors premium grade sanded grout and oyster shells with a little aragonite sand. Is this grout okay or stick with the black ugly portland cement?

i gotta tell you i did it with both. The white looked nice at first, but over time in the tank i think the cement rock looks better, and eventually they will all be covered in coralline.

Most grout has a fungicide in it now, read the ingredients.
