Live rock and sand?

[itz frank]

Anyone here got live rock or sand that they're trying to get rid of or know where i get some some cheap? I just started up a new 90 gal and am looking to take on 100lbs of LR and 80lbs of LS.

I have some, but someone called for it. If he falls within the week I will let you know.

As for live or not, I doubt its live anymore. Its been sitting around for a few weeks.

Well, all it'll need is a new cycle right? Which is no problem. I wanna take some type to plan this out after the rock and sand get in there. Thanx for the notice. -frank

you want 80 pounds of sand....there are a few options, buy 60 pounds of "dead" sand and seed it with 20 pound of live....

Or get 80 pounds of "dead" and seed it with a cup or two of live sand. Either way...that will jump start your cycle.

Personally in my tank I used a mix, 40 "dead" and 20 live, store bought (Big Als), with an extra boost of 10 cups from an established tank. My cycle was smooth.

As far as live rock I ordered online from a place in Apopka(http://www.theaquariumonline.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=96). They are pretty friendly and got some good quality stuff. And they are the cheapest I've seen. Good luck on your quest, and you have come to the right place.
