Hi,
I have a 55Gal bow front tank. I have recently purchased approx 70lbs (30KG) of Live Rock. My LFS advised me to use a 4" base of Ocean Rock (Hard, dead stuff) and then build up with the LR. I have ended up using approx 60lbs of this stuff to form a decent base, so as not to kill the LR.
As you can guess my tank now looks very full!
Am I doing this correctly, or are there any better ways to form a decent base for the LR? I want to use al the LR I have, as it costs approx £10 ($20) a KG in the UK!
Cheers
Marty
