180 gallon with 150lbs of base rock

[nitrofish]

this if my 180 gallon with 150lbs of base rock that I just purchased from ebay (costed me $137 total with shipping) I also has 45lbs of live rock from another tank, but it ended up getting covered. next I will get another 110lbs of live rock in a package from tampa bay saltwater. I couldn't get all live rock for my tank, it would cost a fortune to get 360 lbs of live rock, thats why I got half base rock.

That looks real nice! Armando is selling some dry live rock for $1/lb

heres what the old tank looked like (35 gallon hexagon)

thanks for the info ray!

heres some of the live rock, it was starting to get some nice coriline alge (along with some bad alge, but I had gotten some cleaners to take care of that)

dry live rock?
is that an oxymoron? (grammatical contradiction)
Dry, dead rock you mean that has the potential to become live rock.

Nitro, that is a pretty sweet deal you found on Ebay!

so you went from a 35G to a 180! Damn you ;) I was going to buy a 180 but there is no way in hell I can fit it without removing the widescreen TV or the wifes china cabinet......needless to say neither one is going :)

good deal,do you really think you need 110lb of live rock to seed what you got?
you could probably get more dry rock save some more money...
