Very nice. What kind of corals will you be keeping mainly?

&&Right now I'm in the middle of a conversion from reef to Discus/ planted aquarium. Hair algae beat me down. Maybe a nano in the future. Everything screwed up so I'm converting to FOWLR. Wish me luck.

I'm wondering about the rock. Do they contain sawdust to help add texture?

If so, if the wood that the sawdust came from is Galvanized(spelling?), doesn't that contain copper/iron/zinc. wouldn't that cause unneeded metals be added into the system?

The rock I think he is using is made from Aragonite Sand, Portland cement, (and possibly some plastic shavings). It is called Aragocrete and you can actually make your own. See the thread under DIY making your own Rock. There is a whole section on the GARF website about making the mixture, the rock shapes and, most importantly, curing the rock!!
