A few people have mentioned where to buy the rock and sand. I cant find the articles.

Im glad to see I dont have to have a huge amount of sand. local lfs rock is $11.00 a pound, that seems like a lot of money, they just started culturing it last week, so maybe I wont have to pay that much. RO water comes tomorrow. Im getting tank and equipment today.

Its getting exciting now

I would look around for another LFS. I got my live rock for $5.50 lb cured (uncured was $4.50).

Hi Orb. $11 per pound seems a little high to me. I bought most of mine from Premium Aquatics and I paid 5 something a pound for Fiji Premium cured, it was hand picked and excellently packaged. I had little or no die off. I would definitely buy from them again. I bought some of the Tonga pieces from my lfs and it was only 4.99 per pound. I would sure shop around and compare.

You can get live rock for $3 something a pound shipped to your door on ebay. I use the guy nereaga mentioned for sand.

I definitely wouldn't trust a guy that is trying to sell Live Rock that has been "cultured" for only a week or two - especially of $11/lb. I think that's the most expensive I've ever heard of.

On everything else I agree with the other posts.
