    re

    Well no live Rock. really all but the pound worth i obtained from the LFS, Which was found inside the 10 pounds of nice Sand that was given to Me. I Have the Chance to afford to do This project. I ran a 2 gallon SW Test tank of the live sand and now it is just cycling like crazy:O with no where to have the live bacteria go like i said tho just a test tank, funny though... i had life in it haha yeah some little sand burrowing snails :p no live algae colors on LR tho.
    but i plained to rinse the rest of the sand and mix with the brackish tank Crushed coral substrate. :) then getting live rock and acclimate the tank
