Oh, and one more thing - get porous rock. More surface area and better flow-through.

If you can hold out, wait for a fellow reefer tearing down or changing his/her system. They usually sell between $3-$4 a pound and it's almost guaranteed to have way more living organisms on it than any cured rock you could buy from a store.


Just be happy you live on or near the coast, that's the going rate for live rock here in winnipeg from the LFS.
