Evening everyone. I've been fresh water keeping for about 6 years now and have an excellent 30 gallon tank with an angel that lays eggs almost every week. BUT, I've decided (with the wifes permission) to embark on a new salt water adventure.
I've been reading about salt water keeping on and off for about 2 years and i'm finally going to take the plunge. I'm picking up my new tank on wednesday and hopefully, I'll have it all bought and put together by this fall. The one thing that gets me, is the shear cost of Live Rock. Is it possible to make some life rock, while I'm putting my setup together? I was thinking about buying a little kids swimming pool, mixing some salt water and placing a few power heads in it and let it steep for a few months. Would that work? What type of rock is best for marine tanks? Oh and Hi to everyone in South Austin! Thanks In Advance -Dan
