I am setting up a 29 Gallon SW aquarium. My goal is eventually to have a reef set up, with corals. This is my first run at SW, and I am wondering where people would suggest getting LR from?
I know I need between 45-60 lbs in there.
I've heard two opinions on LR vs seeding base rock. So for the moment I am considering a 50-50 ratio, or maybe a bit heavier on the LR side than the base, and I'd really love to go with just LR. (increase the chance of hitchhikers hopefully) I know this is more expensive, and I'm still debating the decision.
I've got heater, protein skimmer and powerheads on their way, I'll be curing them in my tank since I don't have anything going yet.
That said, I'm really interested in people's opinions on online sources of LR. (Quality, shipping, cost, overall impressions) Craigslist isn't much of an option where I live, so I'll get that out of the way. And we don't really have a local club here. I'm in Fargo, ND so it's a bit of a trek to get anything here.
Thanks for your thoughts, I greatly appreciate it.
