Diy purple rocks ????

[reeftastic2021]

So I have all my rock work ready to go into my new tank and wanted to know if anyone knew how to paint the rocks purple so I don't have to go through that ugly stage of a new tank.

I have a 132 gallon tank with half purple painted and half live rock and looks amazing!
The process is lengthy but results speak for themselves!
Take a few pieces out and let dry for 2 days
Then paint them without Pvc primer bc it’s toxic to the reef
Use sponge brush so you won’t get hair/paint all over
Once done let dry for 4 days
I sealed my rocks with epoxy two part solution
Mix equal part of part A and B
Then dip the rock and place it on a cookie rack to drip the excess epoxy out
Let dry for 4 days
Then cure in a bucket and pump with fresh water and bacteria solution ( I use stability by sea chem
Check the ph every day for two weeks
It should be basic 7-8 if acidic it could be because of the limestone leaching acid
You should leave it to cure for a month with one water change of. 80%
Introduce in the tank one piece per week
doing it natural is time consuming, needs constant dose check. And water testing
To make sure hardness,alkalinity and calcium is built up.
