Great build. Some interesting mishaps with your first tank at the start of your project.

Yeah it was a bit of pain at the time but looking back at it things really did work out for the best. Thanks for the compliment.

Following along...

I think the Eco rock is a double edged sword. It's great becase you can avoid introducing pests into the tank. On the flip side you also don't get any of the good stuff. Live rock for then entire amount would have been pretty expensive but would have given instant gratification. With the BRS rock you have to wait for it to seed and color up from a small amount of live rock.

Would I buy the ECO rock again? Absolutly. In a year from now you won't be able to tell what was what and it cost me a fraction of live rock.
