well...it was $5.99/lb (as I expected) but I was not impressed with the shapes available. Looked to be quite dense rock and I was not wanting to HAVE to chisel anything. I spoke with the same guy I did last time although they were pretty busy and I didn't want to keep him from paying customers...

thanks! good thing I've been to the ocean a few times so I know what it smells like lol (nothing special...Louisiana, Florida, Oregon, and Hawaii). Think I'll take a trip up to the only LFS around here that seems to be friendly, knowledgable, AND keeps their tanks in good condition to see...

thanks...how long is too long?

Are there any questions that I should ask my LFS about their live rock? Anything bad that I should keep an eye out for? I saw on liveaquaria that they have rocks available from multiple regions and was wondering if it might be worth paying some extra freight to go with those...

this isn't the first negative review I've read about this company...they may not have been on THIS particular forum though (might try reef-central or nanotank). Always pays to research a company before spending money on them, especially on the internet...and especially for expensive purchases...

hmmm...excellent idea, i had not considered that :) Btw...I meant to say I am POSITIVE I will not be keeping SPS lol. Late night posting :P would I be better off using a 6500K with that Pure Actinic 03, especially in the younger stages of a tank's life to help with coral growth? Sorry if...

oh yeah...I was thinking about a pair of 12,000K Aquablue's by ATI ( http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Flu ... ent_by_ATI ) and a pair of Geisemann Pure Actinic 03's ( http://www.reefgeek.com/product/39W_Pur ... _Giesemann ). sound like an OK combo or is there a better combo I should...

I swear this hobby is going to make my brain explode from information overload lol. As I had mentioned before in one of my threads, I think I just need to find a stepping off point to have a reference point...getting there, slowly but surely lol I was considering a 30g aquarium but after a...

yes...I'm back with another question haha. Seems the more I read and research to find answers the more questions I come up with...thankfully I like that kind of thing, to an extent lol. Anyway, I am trying to figure out what size and type tank to go with. To try and keep my costs somewhat...

excuse my ignorance (or maybe just a brain fart)...but what is AGA? I'm assuming All Glass Aquarium, but is that a brand name or something? I don't see what a general all glass aquarium has to do with reusing filters and such, so I'm leaning towards brand name. and while one day I woudln't...

nobody? I'm curious about this as well...

thanks guys :) And that's the other problem...I don't have a digital camera (well, I have one but it is uh...4-5 years old lol) so that's gonna be a few hundred more that I "need" to shell out :D

what do you mean by "unique"? As in a custom designed hood? I'm not going to actually build the aquarium itself if that's what you meant, sorry if I wasn't clear. I'm just curious how much of a hassle (if you want to call it that, maybe "challenge" would be a better word lol) it is and if I...

Ok, here's my "dilemma" (I kinda like dilemmas)... I've been reading here and on some other reef forums about the different all-in-one's available on the market. My local LFS sells the JBJ Nano Cubes and I was considering the 24 DX until I started reading about the problems people seem to be...

thanks trogdor! Especially for the snail info :) and yeah, you're right...that's the hard part, there are no specific answers since everything is so situation dependant. I had started to read that guide last night actually but somewhere along the line around 3AM or so I got sidetracked by...

Ok, I think I'm going crosseyed I've been researching this stuff for so long so intensely lol. Three days straight now with every free moment I've had (which has been since 5:30PM Friday til the wee hours of the morning) and even then some all week long. So much information to take in, I...
