    gets bigger than that, we have a slight epidemic of them here in this part of the arkansas river, at the low water dams you can catch them over 2' long, people ditch them out of their aquariums and just dump them in the river, then they go crazy on growing off eating around the low water dams

    I know macrorocks.com is having a sale right now on florida base rock for $.89 a lb. Just keep in mind it's not as porous as fiji or pacific rock.

    imo all sw fish are super exotic.jellyfish need a special designed tank and constant food or they will slowly shrink till their gone.octopus need a cage lol.but seriously they rarely do well.when you max out a tank,it is just one step away from being over max and crashing.within a couple days you can lose all your fish.i have 2 fish in a 2yr old 55 gallon tank.getting readdy to add a 3rd and thats it.of course i don't like to stress.i bet i could have 6 in there if i enjoyed doing more water changes and replacing ocasional fish that others killed to make more swimming room.

    Keep watching craigslist. I've seen fiji go as low as $1 a pound on there. Or even better get a complete setup from someone on there and you end up getting a lot more for you money.

    For me personally.. I like real reef rocks vs. something like Texas holy rock. It just looks much more natural.
