    New plan of attack for my 75 gal tank

    Ok I have a new plan, tell me if I’m nuts. How about in my 75gal with 55gal sump FOWLR, can I go lets say 15lbs of live rock with 75-80lbs of fully cured aragacrete. Will the live rock seed the other?

    Thanks this is a much more affordable alternative. I found a person on eBay that sells the artificial stuff at about $2 dollars a pound and all his responses are positive. I am also planning on using the Southdown sand from home depot can you recommend a good supplier for the activator to make it live. On the time issue I find I have much more time than money .

    There is no one good supplier to seed a live sand bed; it's better to use many sources in order to gain diversity. My first suggestion would be to network with some local reefers (a local area club is a good start) to see if any are willing to give you a cup of their live sand. Secondly, go online and purchase some Fiji Livesand and go to IPSF and get some good starter kits.

    i think this setup would be just fine but watch the man made rock does not spike your ph up.
