eddiev0008 December 27, 2014 Share December 27, 2014 Guys I have ordered my new 70 gallon. So I need your advice on sand and live dry rock? Any suggestions on brand and where I can purchase some good rock at a great price? I was thinking of ordering Rock from BRS? Any suggestions please???

wildcrazyjoker81 December 28, 2014 Share December 28, 2014 I started all my tanks with mostly base rock from reefrocks.net and some live rock from someone selling on the local forums. Never had phosphate issues with the reefrocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallreef December 28, 2014 Share December 28, 2014 I ordered alot from marcorocks.com got free sand, and then used some of my live rock and sand from a current tank I had running.... You could get some sand from a member if you don't currently have a tank set-up..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiev0008 December 30, 2014 Author Share December 30, 2014 Small reef Thanks for the suggestion! I will def see if I can get some sand from a member once I get my tank in! It's being built from cadlights should be here in jan can't wait! For a 70 gallon hoe much sand do u think I'll need in pounds? I have always used pink Fiji but noticed it moves a lot with the mp40 on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallreef December 31, 2014 Share December 31, 2014 It's personal preference how deep you want it... I have between 2-3 inches in my 150g... So it's about 75 lbs I think? It was 2 bags from marcorocks and most of everything out of my 50g..(35lbs I think?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miggs76 December 31, 2014 Share December 31, 2014 I went with dry rock from BRS. Had some pest issues in my tank beforehand so I didn't want to take that chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
