Thorite can be used instead of cement but it cost 4X more then cement but you dont have to soak it in water for two weeks.

I can't seem to find a source for it. Where do you pick it up from? What type of store/outlet? Building supply, pool garden, etc?

Thoro Brand 400 makes my favorite and is what most public aquariums use.

Hmmm, I pulled up both homedepot.com and lowes.com, a search of their site turns up nothing!

Later I will go into the store and inquire ... however, those "workers" (and I use that term lightly) have a habit of "going stupid" on me--i.e., I usually have to find what I am looking for myself, after they tell me they don't have what I am looking for. LOL!
