I go check on my supper, come back and there are 14 new posts and everybody is gone. What's up with that?

The good thing is I have a sump full of rock in my big tank, and may even take some out of the display to make room for flow.
Man how much base rock did you get?

16 pounds. I am not sure it is enough for what I want to do though. I have to get it out tomorrow when I can see on back porch and build a temporary "tank" out of a cardboard box and stack it the way I want and see what I end up with.

See, I have over 200lbs of base rock on the back porch I either need to tie a huge rubbermaid tub into my system and have a reef pond, set up another tank or get rid of it before my wife has a meltdown!

Wonder what it would cost to ship 200 pounds of dry rock from CO to FL. Nah, not worth it

I can tell you what it cost to ship 405lbs from Florida to Colorado and it hurt! But not as bad as live rock!
