I would love it ,,,,,,, let me know how much ,,and ill come pick it up ,,, i am new at this so if you could fill me in a little bit about it ,,,,i just set this up and i am under way ,,,still need to order my skimmer ,,,,,,,,, what other kind of rock would you recommend to go with it ???

I have around 100lbs that I could part with. I would say $3.50/lb. It usually runs about $6/lb at some stores and up to $10-12/lb in others. Mine has a little coraline growth but is not COVERED like the premium stuff. It definitely has tons of life in it though. Other members have seen my tanks and the types of critters that are abundant in my fuge.

If you are starting fresh and are buying live rock I could give you some of my live sand to seed your sandbed.

How much rock do you have and how much are you selling it for? I could use some new base rock if I sell the live rock. Most of the time I see it here around $1/lb. I have about 75 more lbs of base rock but would like to have enough for a 92g corner and I have no problem letting it grow out in my 140g fuge.

I wouldn't want to buy it out from under MurphSalty but if there is any left or he passes on it then let me know.

Thanks,
-- Kevin

One more thing... After you get your tank set up, if you are going to have a reef tank, I have several larger rocks with soft corals already attached that I would be willing to let go pretty cheap. I am starting to run out of room and would like to thin out some of the softies.

Good luck with your new tank.

MurphySalty, no problem, there are many people in this hobby that are willing to help out when you are new. It isn't an easy thing to just jump into. We all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them and move on. If you feel like taking the drive you can check out my system and ask any questions you may have about setting yours up. I would suggest becoming a member of C-SEA if you aren't already. There are many people there with lots of knowledge and most are willing to share for free

Now when you get your tank growing monster corals we will all be waiting in line to pull our old favors out of your tank :lol:

The greatest thing about this hobby is that you can take a small piece of a coral and grow a huge colony out of it and then share them with others relatively cheaply.

Jeff, I have been having such good growth with my SPS and LPS that the softies are kind of infringing on the real estate that could be used for some nice colorful sticks. I don't think I will ever go all SPS as I LOVE the movement of the softies and it just isn't as beautiful to me to see all SPS. I like to try to emulate nature and have some of everything in there. (OK back off with the algae and aiptasia jokes)
