Aquarium Advice FINatic
hirocks.com has cheap "base rock" which will become live rock in time.
Be sure to read the threads here to find the RIGHT playsand. "southdown" is one name commonly tossed around
Be sure to TAKE YOUR TIME. I made probably $250 in purchases that I wouldn't have, had I known what I do now.
SW is very expensive. If you can budget maybe 50/mo on top of what you have, you should be OK. some of that will go to salt, some to food, some to the occasional new fish. You can add LR a bit at a time, and add a good skimmer as soon as you can. Just don't go too small on the tank (55 is ok) or everything else will suffer. Take your tap water in to a LFS to be tested. you may need a RODI sooner than you think ($85-130 on ebay)
