Are there any coral traders in Houston TX ?

Mine has been Running for about month now

Never Mind Wrong For forum

So what you are saying is that all the rock including the Lava Rock is ok to put into the new tank Right !

Any one in or around the Houston,Tx area selling Frags? My new Reef tank will be ready in a few weeks and I'd like to get a collection going. Anything good for a Beginners Reef.

As of now I have my new Reef tank up and running. What I need to know is what rock if any can use from my FOWLR tank it's been running for about ten years and has a number of diffrent kinds of rock, such as Lava,Coral,that White rock that you get at the LFS thats full of holes,and two small...

What would be the best turnover rate for a 128gal DT?

OK I'm in the process of building my first Reef Tank. Right now I have a 200gal fish only marine tank and a friend of mine talked me into doing a Reef setup. Long story short built a 24x24x60 DT 48x19x18 Fuge/sump all plex no water yet still need to finish painting the Tank room ex Closet. DT is...
