got my live rock today

[StirCrazy]

Ok well it is almost done.. I added another ~155 lbs loaded with mushrooms (3 or 4 different types) button polups, star polups, a leather, a plate coral that I don't think has much of a chance of livving (threw that in for free), and all kindas o little snails.

I got 3 rubermain containers and 2 big rock boxes

Steve, if you need a place to put that "branch stuff" I would be more than happy to give it a nice home, they are perfect for a seahorse tank :D
Sorry can't help you with the ID of the shroom :confused:

[StirCrazy]

hehe, that branch stufff isgoing in a refuge later :D

anyways it is all in the tank and the sand storm has subsided.
keep in mind that I couldent see when I was putting the rock in and that I will be re aranging it once tthe sand starts setteling out faster.
