Ok so once the plumbing is settled we are going to have to figure out where we want to order our sand and rock from.
ROCK:
I'm a big fan of the reef saver rock from BRS so that will probably be the rock we choose to go with. I don't think we will be putting live rock in. Over time it'll turn live and I'm not worried about the wait. So that's taken care of.
I'm thinking generally 75 lbs of live rock as its a 75G tank. What do you guys think I should request for sizes? Last time I was stocking a 20G and I requested 3-4 lb. rocks and it worked out well.
Do you think I should go with bigger rocks or smaller? I like the idea of smaller because I can easily pull out rocks. I don't want big rocks or small rocks, but medium (I know, I'm a woman - I'm complicated)
I was thinking maybe 10 pieces around 7-8 lbs each?
What do you guys think?
SAND:
Now, I liked the live sand that I bought for my tank but for my boyfriend I was thinking about going the non-live route.
Should we get 75 lbs of sand? And what kind do you guys recommend? Hoping not to spend too much in this area.
What's a good sand bed depth?
