Just wanted to give a tip to some of the new folks. If you are trying to fill up your new 200 gallon tank with 200 lbs of live rock, there is a cheaper way. Instead of 200 lbs of live rock you can get, say 50 lbs of live rock and 150 lbs of dead rock. After a few months, you will have 200 lbs of live rock. This can save you a boatload of money.

For example, here is an eBay source for good Hawaiian dead rock at about $1/lb shipped. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=4345563063

For a 200 gallon tank, this could save you around $500. That's enough to put quite a bit of life onto your dead rock, compared to how it would come in the mail.
