That's a very good question lol. I think it's around 3.80 per pound, but don't quote me on that. Since I had to get so much stuff special ordered, Kevin just made me one large invoice. The rock was on it, but I can't remember exactly how it broke down. I do know that on Friday he received a shipment of 1500 pounds or something ridiculous like that, so if your'e looking for some he's got TONS of selection right now.

Looks great so far. I have huge tank envy right now.

I'm not sure, I've got three bags left that I might return. I'm considering doing a DSB in my frag chamber, but the relative surface area of that chamber compared to the tank is tiny, so I don't know if there's a point. I'm not sure if to will just cause problems down the line.

Thanks :) I needed to do this all on a ladder, so the fact that I didn't drop a piece of rock right through the bottom of my glass was a small miracle in and of itself. I've never gotten so sweaty working on a tank.

Rock looks good as does everything else. I certainly couldn't add any more rock in there... in fact when adding the live rock I'd take more out than I added to achieve a slightly more open look.

Yah I think I will for sure. It will all depend on what the actual pieces look like I suppose.

100GPD - Thats a good wait! Can't wait to see that tank all setup. Would love to see it in person some day if you are ever doing tours.

I will happily give tours! Hopefully it's worth looking at sooner than later. Right now it's sitting there, running with fresh R/O water as though it were a real tank. It's teasing me, but it's end of term and I haven't had 3 minutes to breath, let alone go and get salt and get the salinity where it needs to be to start the cycle. grrrrrr!

As I age I'm turning more and more in to a weekend reefer.
