Too bad about the rock but better safe that sorry. It'll make great base rock
J | The rock fills a 30 gal trash can and has some awsome shape, they are not just round balls so when I seed it with mine it will look great. I am taking my time with this instead of getting in a hurry. My 55 is still running so I have plenty of time. It is a lot of work but when it is finished and I can sit in the family room with the kids and watch the fish it will be all worth it.  _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

The spouts will be hidden in the rock and the other two valves will be come in on the wall beside the OF box. This way I will have no lines visible in the tank to distract from the view. Everything is a work in progress, I have been talking with a lot of veterans in this hobby and I'm using the advice they have to offer...  | |

Not quite plenty of time..... I need some light.
I bought life rock last night on ebay. It should be here by Friday, but then a week to cure, so we're looking at next week when I start pestering you for the lights. | |

If the corals start acting funny I'll just bring them over to your house so you can babysit... | |
