    Canada has a CraigsList, right?

    Have you tried to look on there for people breaking down a tank, etc.?

    It's usually local and cheaper, but sometimes your timing has to be a bit lucky.

    Agree 100% Personally wouldn't go any other route then the BRS dry Pukani. No pests of any kind. Great rock hands down! Almost 2yrs later and still no HA!! Lol

    2 weekends ago I ended up going to a warehouse store and I picked up 110 pounds of Marco rock

    Great stuff and very light I filled a full box and I assumed it would be etleast 100 pounds turned out to be 70 so then I got a little more

    Aquascaping was alot easier than Fiji live Rock IMO and my tank still doesn't have water in it so it was definetly essential to go with the dry rock

    Currently tank has lights hung, stand made tank aquascaped, electrical done, Wednesday I will be picking up the glass that is being cut for my 75g tank I purchased for sump fuge, once I finish the sump then I will plum the tank. Last I will fill with rodi water check for leaks ect then add the salt and get the cycle going lol

    I'm hoping to start adding water early next week

    I used dry rock from BRS and reefcleaners and seeded it with Dr. tims on and only bacteria. My tank cycled in about 10 days.
