    Thanks. I started with live rock and sand. I actually wheeled in a 55g drum of pre mixed sw as well from the lfs. My tank was cycled in 2 weeks.

    Nice. Yea i have 50lbs of base rock from marcorocks.com and im gunna grab maybe 20lbs of live cured from my lfs right after i fill it so it can seed everything else. Im still undecided on what to use.. live sand or some regular aragonite sand.. the live stuff is pretty expensive

    Wow! Looks good already! I've had mine up for about 10 months, and am just now getting ready to put corals in it, in the next week or so. Just goes to show you, that every tank is different. With the problems I've had, I just didn't want to chance it.
