What would be a good variety for a 125 gallon tank? I was thinking 100lbs of base, 30lbs of branch and maybe 30 lbs of lace or something else? I've seen a few places that sell lace lava rock real cheap which they say can be used in a saltwater tank but I've heard otherwise? Or should I be...

Originally posted by ScubaNoah Base rock normally is not cured nor does it have very much growth on it. Premium is normally fully cured and will have far more color and growth. premium or base will be all different shapes or sizes. Thanks for the info Scuba Noah

Hello, Ive seen some places that sell Fiji Base live rock as well as Fiji Premium live rock. Does anyone know if there is a diffrence other than size? Thanks, Dred

Thanks for all the good advice everyone. I'm sure glad this board exists to give better opinion than most fish shops do. When the live rock gets to me do I just chuck the stuff that looks dead or is there a way to bring it back to life so to speak? I've never had experience with live rock so I'm...

I'm planning on doing a FOWLR tank. If your asking about aggressive in terms of fish I don't have any plans toward using aggresive fish. I'm thinking of 150-200lbs for live rock to put me in that 1 to 1.5 lb per gallon range. Does that sound adequate?

Originally posted by evilss well alot of time you can save money ordering online. as far as recieving it. the condition should be still good. now you will have some die off. i wouldnt just throw it in your display tank. unless you are going to cycle with it. then it makes no difference...

Hello, I posted a thread earlier about getting live rock off of the web. It looks like the thread was removed which was my fault for mentioning another site in the forums. I apologize for that. I guess the question I have is if you guys/gals were going to order live rock being several states...

Still trying to find one in my area. Closest one I've heard of is a couple hundred miles away. I live in the middle of nowhere. :-)

Originally posted by Bang Guy Aragamax is repackaged Southdown Sand so it's fine. Thanks Bang Guy. Now if I could only get it at southdown prices I'd be set. :-)

Once again thanks for the info. Looks like I've got some decisions to make on which route I'm going to go. I thought of going with the really fine agra sand but it looks like If I go over 1 1/2 inches that could potentially cause some nitrate problems?

Originally posted by arkey.d What I did was use 40lbs of PlaySand from Ace Hardware then 30lbs of LiveSand on top for my 55gal. The sand you describe sounds great, if it's in your price range. Thanks for the reply arkey.d. I'd love to use playsand to save the $$$ but the only type we have in...

Hello, So living in MN I have given up all hope in finding Southdown or Yardright so now I am looking for an alternative that won't cost me a kidney. Has anyone heard of Aragamax Sand? The descriptions I've found online state the following: Aragamax Sand This super-fine sand (.2 to 1.22 mm grain...

I'm planning on doing a FOWLR tank. I'll start looking online for some equipment. I've been to petsmart.com and a few others. Does anyone have any good links to online stores? Thanks for all the help and info from everyone to get me started. Thanks, Dred

Hello all, I'm about ready to start purchasing the equipment I need to get started and am looking to get some advice before I buy. Can anyone recommend a good hang on filter for a 125 gallon tank? Or is there some other I should be looking at? The tank is not drilled and I really didn't have...

Originally posted by Salty Cheese The farther north you go the more it seems its availability is a seasonal thing, so instead of asking if a particular store has it in stock maybe track down a manager and try to find out if they plan on ordering it come spring. Also are there any reef clubs in...

Originally posted by mbrands I started a thread a while back. See if any of the information on this one helps. Good luck finding it . . . I haven't had any. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...hreadid=144942 Thanks for the info Mbrands, I appreciate it.

Originally posted by ClarkiiClo It is also called yardright. I would use sand also. The CC will just cause you problems later down the road. Did you get a skimmer or any other filtration with the tank? What kind of lights did you get? I would bite the bullet and get good sand and possibly live...

At this point all I have is the tank, hood, lights and stand. I was planning on doing southdown or yardright if I could find it along with a few bags of LS. I'm still looking for a place to get good live rock but haven't decided where I'll go yet. Probably here as it's a hell of a lot cheaper...
