OK, I think I have the lighting issue under control. I'm pretty sure I have an old incandecent strip at home holds 2 bulbs.
Now for the live rock. I have really only been to riverfront and big al's, and neither of those places' rock looked very "Live" any suggestions for where to source some high quality rock here in calgary? How about the live sand? I have seen bags of sand that claim to be live, but they are dry?
seems to me Dry cannot equal live.
