Live Rock

[sgc0286]

Does anyone know of where I could find a good deal on some rock?
It does'nt have to be "live". I need it to make a backdrop for my aquarium. I will need around 40lbs.

Thanks.

You also need it for some good biological filtration. We have some onsite vendors if you are talkinf buying online.

I would buy base rock, way cheaper, check your lfs it usually sells for about $1.50 a lb.

Thanks. Iam going to be attaching them to an egg crate so it will be time consuming, so the rock will not be able to be/stay live.

Okay, Maybe a stupid question. What does DIY stand for?

I got the idea from INNOVATOR in a thread yesturday.

My tank is taller than it is wide because it is a hexagon. I have been trying to find a way to utilize the top half of my tank. The only way to stack them that high is to have a support system. You can look at my pics in my profile to see what Iam talking about with my tank.
