    Mp10 on a 6ft 135g reef tank?

    Could I get away with a pair of mp10's on a 135g tank? Or maybe one mp40 And one mp10. Mp40's are a little costly, although not that much more than a comparable setup with koralia's and a controller. What do you guys think? Or what about 2 tunze 6100? That may be what I end up with, a little...

    Cheap sand with pics

    Ok who has cheap sand in their tanks that looks great. I'm in the market for 150+ lbs of sand and I want cheap stuff, but I want it to look good as well. So I figure I'd ask you guys what you have in your tank and how much it cost you. Because I don't want to spend $200.
