Thanks! Ill have to remember this!!

Wow, that's great! You got the same rodi as me! It wastes a bunch of water but the taste of the pure is crazy.

Cool! When i have problems ill ask you

Red sea- thanks!! You too!!!

Ibrahim-if the rock is really good and checks out okay, then itll be live and well stack it.
If it isnt so great we will get very little, and glue together some base rock for some knarley formations

Cool. Reefrocks.net has some good sand for $15 with shipping. Its 40lbs too so I'd do that rather than PFS

Ya know, when we bought the tank it came with two large bags of used sand. We also have another bag of sand i used in a fw 10 gallon awhile ago. So could i do that if i clean it all very well? How much does pfs cost?

Yea you could use it. But if you dont like it im sure you know how big of a pain it is to get out.6-15 for a 50lb bag. This is the sand reefrocks has http://reefrocks.net/index.php?page=...mart&Itemid=56

Look into the reef saver rock at Bulk Reef. It is quarried, super clean and makes great walls and caves. It's also cheap and very environmentally friendly. Seed it with a few pieces of live rock and you will be good to go.

Thanks! I will definatly look at Bulk Reef right now. Im up for anything eco friendly. Are the pieces good for constructing caves and arches? We were really going for the arch look

I have reef saver rock in my 8g ands my favorite but it's shipping is expensive for rock. Cost me 30 for 8lbs and you'd need 40 or so.

Yeah that's why I didn't need any epoxy. But its not too different from regular base rock so don't let it bum you out. Total would be $124

Yea it's pretty good rock

[Gregcoyote]

My son just bought some. He thought he got a good deal. The rock looks really cool. I would be careful of other quarried rock as it might have some solvable minerals in it you won't want. Remember here is no water weight with this and BRS ships any order over $100 for free...

Hm, and how much per pound is this rock? 3$/lb?
