    They all seem to be decent products as far as I can tell.
    Some people like Odyssea stuff, some not. I really thought about getting Odyssea or FishNeedIt. I have emailed the latter, very fast response (wasnt perfect English, but who really cares, right?). But I didnt get either, since I took a different route (DIY LED).

    I was really happy with marcorocks. I got 50 lbs of the base rock and 40lbs of the sand and think it looks great!

    I heard BRS's Pukani Dry rock is pretty nice too, it's supposed to give you the best volume by pound and I think you can order however many lbs you want.

    [Edit] I just noticed you asked for live rock, sorry about that :p great thread btw the builds looking awesome

    I'm no expert on lights but I guess it depends on what you want to keep?


    As far as test kits go this is what I picked up. It's not too expensive and seems to cover what you need to watch during the cycle (Ammonia Nitrites & Nitrates. Its the API Saltwater testkit From what I understand you'll have to test for other things in the future but I think this is a good to start with
