    Bit of an odd question here, but does anyone know where I might be able to get a copy of the software program ReefCon 2000? (ReefCon is a full featured aquarium maintainence, logging, control, and reference software package.) The software company, Infinitysoft seems to be no more (their...

    LR - Have shipped or buy local?

    Thanks hounddog...I think that the 90lbs. to 110 gal. is a decent ratio to start. Actually swf.com is sold out of all their LR...however I found a very reputable online dealer that came highly recommended from a couple of university marine departments - which is the .com that has the pricing I...

    LR - Have shipped or buy local?

    LR - Have shipped or buy local?

    (Thanks for the input so far...) I was going with the 1lb. to 1 gal. guideline for the most part (would 135lb be too much?) The online supplier also lists their rock as '100% cured.' (At least with this Fiji selection I'm looking at). Is there further curing that would be required (not much on...

    LR - Have shipped or buy local?

    Hi there! I'm getting ready to set up a 110 gal. reef tank, and was wanting advice on getting my live rock locally (aka the pet shop on the corner) or getting it FedEx'd overnight. Example: 90lbs. of Fiji LR from a reputable online retailer would run about $285 (that includes shipping)...
