Sarah's 5 gallon pico reef build

[rebelyeller89]

You say the reef saver was to small? Would that work better for me since it's a 5 gallon hex?
What is the average size of the reefrocks.net rocks?

Less than 4lbs of reefrocks was equal to 7lbs of reefsaver rock. If you check my 25g build thread you can see the reef saver rock in the first few pages and the reefrocks in the last few pages

Dang that rock does look nice. The rock by the pound seems ace. I should've ordered that for my nano build before I started to cycle. I bet 10 lbs of that porous stuff would've filled my 10g up nicely.

Yeah, you got me leaning towards that rock now. Looks nice. Might you remember how much shipping was?

$8 on rock under 30lbs and anything over is free

[rebelyeller89]

Awesome. Sounds like a great deal.

Ahem, just an update. I heard you can convert ghost shrimp to saltwater sooo I decided to try that out with 5 in this tank. So that's why I haven't started cycling or anything.
Also FYI the shrimp are up to 1.10 salinity and they seen happy as clams.
