easy diy aquaponics system | Magnesium Oxide Cement

easy diy aquaponics system


I recently learned of a fast setting cement.  Magnesium Oxide cement is water proof, fire proof, almost twice as strong as Portland cement concrete ,  more environmentally friendly than Portland cement, will not change the PH of water, sets within minutes of mixing, but it can be retarded, lends itself to free form structure, can be used with many aggregates such as sand, or wood chips, and it does not shrink or expand. 

Our Northern California Distributor just took on the Ceratech product line, and should have the product available by mid May 2012.

UPDATE 1/4/2013:
I never did make my way down to Stockton to pick up some of this product, but I did find Cement All - Rapid Set Concrete.  This is a quick experiment I did with that commonly available product which contains  Magnesium Oxide.  


To wet your appetite Ill leave this link to a site where you can see examples of what can be done with magnesium oxide cement.  Imagine the tanks, green houses or just about anything else you will be able to quickly build with this!  How about a storage shed built before lunch. This is an oven in the photo below.

Green Home Building





The method used in the photo is to soak burlap in the cement and drape it over a form.
The wall in back was created by draping over a rope.
An entire house can be erected in one day and occupied the next by spraying it on Styrofoam.  Basically creating a SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) in place.

Im also wondering why I did not see Airkrete (also made of MgO) sprayed on a form and made less friable by covering with MgO cement.  This would create a complete MgO structure with insulation.
