Ok, I've had several months to sit back and look at things.
I originally decided to go FOWLR and go to reef later, but I would rather do it right the first time and just go reef...
I have a 75 gallon tank and stand, Eshopps 100 20 gallon sump, ASM G1 skimmer, And Sedra 5000A return pump. I also have an Eshopps 800 GPH HOB overflow, but would rather drill the tank for either a DIY overflow or other internal overflow...
I am looking to get a Hydor 300W in line heater as well...
I want to go with a shallow sand bed as well... For lights I am picking up a fixture (2 months old) with 2 10,000K and 2 Actinic PC's in it.
As far as live rock, I found about 80 pounds of live rock that has been kept "moist" in a styrofoam Ice chest for a couple weeks, and about another 80 pounds of non-live rock that has been dry for about the same amount of time... price is good, about $0.50/lb!
would this live rock still be live, or just wet dead rock by now?
Thanks!
