Yes, and it comes in a styrophome(sp) box wrapped in newspaper. And it's doing fine.

Hey I had one of these once upon a time. :happyfish

I've heard of ppl using a chisel and hammer breaking it into smaller pieces.

Lowes, Home D, just about any hardware place in the adhesive section.

Here's a pic of my 20 I'm trying to turn into a reef. :happyfish after and before

I may just be the exception but I had a lion and a trigger in my 130g without any problems.

I have a 20g and have 2 5g pails. I syphon(sp) water out with clear tubing into one pail. Then I use a half gal pitcher to put the other pal of water into the tank. Works for me, however if you have a sump or refuge that is always a good place to do it also.
