Fish or Live Rocks?

[drtash]

I have a 120 gal tank. I have about 60 lbs of live rock. I have a niger trigger, yellow tank , stars and strip puffer and an eel.
Do i buy more live rock or more fish?
Salt water fish has the $199 special for 50lb of rock with free shipping. Good deal?

i would personally buy more live rock.. the more the merrier.. and the happier your fish will be.. plus you will have better water quality..
your stock sounds pretty darn good.. i was looking into getting a puffer.. but my lfs keeps telling me they will eat my stars.. has he picked on any of yours yet????
but yes i would max out on my live rock about 150 pounds and then start adding a few more species once that goal is accomplished

If it were me, I would go for live rock.

yes more rocks. but make sure u recure them since there will be dieoff from shipment. if u dont want dieoff, get it from lfs.

i would buy the LR from here! 4 dollars a pound and STORE credit! how can you beat that...only down side is you dont get to hand pick the pices you want, and the dieoff part will suck...but a cheaper was to do it is make your own live rock, read up on argocreet on Garf web site...looks like fun

lfs stands for Local Fish Store, on the case of dieoff im just as clueless as you

if you get large pieces of live rock, can you cut time into different shapes.....using a saw?

dieoff= the parts of live rock that die during transport. LFS= local fish store.
