What to Buy

[killa]

i am setting up a new tank and was wondering what would be better, a fluval 304 filter for $150 or 80 pounds of live rock for $120?
its a 4ftx18x18 (67gal) tank.

IMO go for the LR. 80lbs. for $120 sounds like a good deal to me.

I second what Stacy said, 120.00 is a great deal for 80 lbs of LR! Is it cured or uncured??
Also $150 is sky high for a Fluval, you can get one online for $85-$90

The rock seems like a great deal. If it is any good at all I would nab it up!

I'd go for the rock. its a steal at that price.

That is a rough conversion price for the live rock. it costs $120 Australian for a 18kg box online. not sure what the conversion from kilos to pounds is but i think it is just over two. so 36kg is around 80 pounds for $120 american. it is all cured.
the thing is i dont have any filters (cept a skimmer)at the moment so i guess im asking what would give the best filtration, the live rock or filter?
i plan on keeping around 5/6 fish.
