I hadn't heard of this before.... indeed not good....

Now the concrete block we made, with rebar has been at the bottom for ummmmm I think about 25 years now.... the chain has been replaced several times, but the rebar is still in great shape.

now someone else mentioned granite..... I have heard this is much better then concrete, and I know on Lake Champlain, is very popular for moorings....
