Got my LR!

[bheron]

Just got my LR for my new 75G. Got 100 lbs of it (75 marshall island and 25 kaelini). Now its in to cycle.
One question: most of the pieces are pretty large - like 15 pounders. I'd like them small to make for better control over my aquascaping. Is it possible, and recommended, to break some of the pieces up?

Hammer Time...................
Well use a chisel too. If you find a mantis in there, hook me up. They'll kill stuff if you keep them in your display tank but you could always set up a species tank for it.

so its no big deal to just gently tap away and break them in parts?
will do. however, i've been hearing how annoying these mantis shrimp can be, but i really havent seen any good pics of them??

so kip, do you think it might be better to split the rock with a drill bit than tapping with a chisel and hammer?
also...what happened to the "ass"?
