Hey what does RC charge for that Marco Rock?

What are your plans for the extra sand you ordered? or did you just dump all the bags in there?

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

Looks great in my opinion.

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.

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.

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.
