Its much cheaper.Half of my 30g is lace rock.And I think Mattb used it in his 180.

 

[peef]

Awesome well thanks for the info!

 

[patrick8929]

any update?

 

[peef]

Not as of yet. The lights will be here sometime this coming week. I did get the eggcrate for the bottom. Not going to be eggcrate forever but just for a little while. I am debating whether of not to make it a bare bottom tank so that zoas can literally grow EVERYWHERE!

 

[patrick8929]

nice man are you going to put any live rock or sand in there or are you just going to have zoos?

 

[peef]

Well, still not sure yet. I am going to have LR for sure but not sure about sand.

 

[patrick8929]

got it! well i cant wait to see it all set up!! how much longer?

 

[1990jpyj]

i say go with a little bit of sand. it looks much nicer. but so far everything looks great

 

[peef]

Well I as well think sand would be a nice thing to have. I am going to be moving from the keys soon, up to Virginia, so I am going to wait on the sand at least until then. But the lights will be here in like 3-4 days.

 

[clownfish11]

sux your moving

 

[peef]

Well yes and no. The rent here is OUTRAGEOUS. We spend close to $1800.00 a month for a dippy little 2b2br...stupid. We found a house we are probably going to take up there that is 5 bedroom 4.5 bath, 3400 squarefeet pool, hotub, 3 car garage, on 9.5 acres of land BRAND NEW never been lived in for 1500.00 a month......cant beat that. And the keys are great and all but not what its cracked up to be. This place is awesome if you are here to dive dive dive dive dive, other than that there is drink drink drink drink drink and occasionally drinking again. I don't like to drink all that much....although I still tend to sometimes on accident. So we are ready to head out start real jobs and make some CHA-CHING!
