    Just made an order for 30lbs of base rock from reef cleaners. I should have some pretty sweet scape options once it arrives.

    I got the BRS rock and it was sweet! They sent me more lbs then I ordered, I assume for breakage.

    yeah, 30 pounds of that rock, should be PLENTY for that tank and a nice scape. Are you adding this to your existing rock and sand, or all new rock and sand? If you're using you're existing rock, I doubt you'll have much of a cycle at all.

    When I transferred my 55 into my 90g, I used all new sand, seeded a bit with my old sand, used my existing rock and just added some new dry rock, and got no cycle at all.

    Looking forward to this build;)

    The brs rock was much more expensive and I have ordered from John at reef cleaners before and was super happy with his rock. Can't beat free shipping either.

    I plan on using as much rock from the other tanks as possible and possibly seed the new sand with some of my old sand. I'm hoping to have a very little to no cycle this way.

    And there is reefrocks.net as well :) I think them, Marco, and Reefcleaners are all the same rock. Awesome stuff, and relatively cheap!

    Yeah I ordered 30lbs from reef cleaners. I was happy with it when I used it for my 3 gallon.
