This will be my water test log
The 100 lbs of rock sculptures I created were placed in an
old plastic Child's swimming pool and covered with tap water. A
power head was also placed in the pool to circulate water. for
the first four weeks water was replaced 3 to four times a week.
No PH readings were taken during this time. Readings began at
week 4 and where recorded the day after each water change.
Curing began the last week of June.
At week 8 selected pieces of rock were moved to the tank to
build the base rock structured. Rock was cured for an aditional
2 weeks in tank with fresh water before adding salt. Week 10 and
11 are with salt.
