Hello reefers,
Being a MA resident and new to the hobby, this seems like a great way to exchange ideas. Thanks to the people who dedicate time to set this up!
My plan is to start a FOWLR aquarium first using a 75 gal tank, 60lbs Key Largo dry rock from Marcorocks.com and an Eheim 2026 canister filter. I plan to seed the dry rock with LR and LS, and use that for biological filtration. I will keep the fish population low until I raise funds for a skimmer and wet/dry filter. I’m also going to use tap water with conditioners until I can get RO/DI. After I gain experience and equipment I want to convert to a full reef aquarium.
I saw the thread with the ratings of LFS’s in the greater Boston area. Are any of these particularly good sources for LR? Also, does anyone have experience with these online sources?

If buying LR on the net, is it important to spend extra $$ for overnight shipping?
Thanks for any feedback.
