I will stop at River City tomorrow for the order/purchase of the overflow supplies for my tank. I also checked out the 30 lbs free shipping. I think I might go with 30lbs from there and look maybe at some other vendors as well. I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket. Does anyone have any other suggestions for the live rock? Also, I am looking at purchasing a sump pump. I was looking at the Model 3 MAG Drive pump from Danny. I heard they are reliable pump and a good choice.

I am looking to setup a reef tank with a few fish. I looked at there website it look like orders over $100 is free ups shipping. Thats not too bad I assume it is $2.70 a pound. It looks like since I am off tomorrow I will be looking for a overflow kit. I am looking to setup a center overflow and take my tank to have drilled as well. I found a glass store to drill for $25 a hole. Does anyone know of a reliable source that would be less expensive? I found a glass company on 620. Also, any help with finding the overflow kit would be helpful. I wouldn't think there is too much to finding the appropriate one. I was planning a 1" overflow with a dual flow. Thanks again!

Hello all, I am new to the saltwater aquariums. I am setting up a 40gal tank that I am going to have drilled for an overflow setup with a sump and refugium. I am looking for suggestions for the best priced/quality live rock. I noticed if ordered online it will cost me a small fortune to have it shipped. I was thinking I will need about 80lbs of rock. I found 35lbs base fiji for like $69 and 45lbs of fiji for $89 but to have it shipped it cost $110. I am also looking at finding some sand. I have been told get a big bag of sand from River City and use that in my aquarium. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts? I will also be looking for a lighting setup over the next few weeks. I have been looking toward a compact light. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thank you in advance for your help. Richard
