mushrooms good/bad?

Mushroom Are Great part of your Coral selection. Are you planning on turning it into a Reef?

 

[EMTtony]

Haven't decided yet on going reef.

If you ever do go reef the CC star will have to go. Not reef friendly. BTW great looking tank.

I want some more LR, but my wife disagrees with me. I have a local place that sell LR for $7/lb and is already cured.

No offence to your wife, but maybe she disagrees becasue she doesn't understand the importance of it. She just might think "You need to spend how much on ROCKS!!" By the look of your tank you will almost need to double the amount that you have. 1- 1.5lbs/gallon is standard. I personaly would go with 50lbs. If price is a question, look in the local newspaper or on craigslist, or any local place where you can buy things privately, and you should be able to find cured live rock for half that price, if not cheaper.

I agree with sqrle. Check around locally for cheap rock. $7 a lb. is about normal here too.
