    OK. So hopefully sometime by the end of the month I will be able to start my 65 gallon build thread. But I got a large shipment in today. Including 100lbs of fiji pink live sand, 80 lbs of base rock from Marine Depot, PinPoint wireless thermometer, RO unit, TDS meter, ATO switch and pump, Powerhead for mixing salt, a handful of test kits, some kalkwasser, acrylic sheets for my sump, and some acrylic rods for aquascaping.

    Just FYI, this is only 40lbs of rock. I didn't open the other box yet.

    Sure doesn't look like much does it? I'll have to see what it looks like when it's in the aquarium. I might have to get some more, but I do plan on moving the 10 lbs of live rock from my 10 gallon into the 65 gallon to seed the base rock.

    I did check out marco rocks. They have some really nice stuff but it was still pricey. I got 40 lbs for like $86 rough estimate from marine depot. I shopped around alot and it was the cheapest rock I could find that still looked good.

    I just got 2 boxes of lace for 60 a box. Works out to $1.50 / lb. I was pleased to say the least.
