I just got some Fiji ultra yesterday for $6.99 a lb. Did I get Jobbed? Well I got a 10% military discount so maybe I made out okay.

Ok just bought another Fiji live rock from petco for $20 with tax. Came home and put it on the scale 5.5 lbs that comes out to $3.63 per pound. I say that's a good deal their where also 3 hermit crabs on the rock that tagged along.

Looks just about the same as the stuff I got from Petland, coloring and all. It should color up better within the next few months. Double check the rock that's in the top right because it doesn't look very secure to me. If that thing comes tumbling down, the results won't be pretty.

whos that dericted twords me or loach

 

[Loach23]

Their are more rock in the back that are not seen from the front. It's very sturdy.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

hey loach whtd you use as a background?

 

[Loach23]

I painted the back of the tank. I went to Benjamin Moore and got a sample for free and painted the back. Cheap and always looks bright and no bubbles from the paper not sticking.. Only way to go.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

no wonder it looks so nice and bright i had to use construction paper it does look nice though yours is so much better

 

[Loach23]

Thanks it easy to touch up and comes right off with a razor

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

it's to late for me not worth emptying the tank lol. maybe on my future tanks

 

[Loach23]

You paint the back of the tank not the inside part the outside

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]
