I like the look of the BRS rock... thinking about using that reef saver rock on my next tank!

Curious what it cost for 50#'s shipped?

EDIT: Just realized you're not in calgary, so shipping of the rock is kinda pointless to tell me.. lol

what are your first thoughts of the reef saver rock. I have previously ordered the Fiji and Spagetti rock from BRS and liked them both. On my next tank I was planning on repeating my order but they no longer ship that stuff to Canada so my only choice would be the reef saver stuff.

First thoughts on the rock is its well worth it extremely pleased, i had a few reasons i went with the dry rock to prevent bad hitchhikers from entering my tank nothing more painful then dealing with aptasia and other crap on a new build, less stress on an actual living reef a big plus.

Some cons is longer cycle time, and well its dry dead rock so you do have to seed it and wait but meh i think the pros out weight the con in this case by far that my opinion.

Good to see another Toronto person on here.

I'm looking to do a build next year a little bigger (120, so 24" tall), and a very similar equipment list

I'm curious how much the rock was to be shipped to you

Tagging along I have always wanted to see a 90 wide build.

I am in the process of planning out the plumbing and could use some help on how best to lay it out.

Attachment 5174

That is a quick and dirty picture of what i am thinking on how to lay it out.
What i need help on is where to place the unions and where to place the ball valves. I am also thinking of splitting the drain line so i can divert some of the water to a 10 gallon mangrove tank but that's a plan not confirmed yet.

Help would be great thanks!

instead of a threadxslip adapter, use a threadxthread adapter with a street elbow - it'll save you a few inches behind the tank.

Where'd you get the metal stand?
