Hello!!!!

[shelby1018]

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I joined today and just purchased a 210 gallon tank. Can't wait till the weekend to set it up. Any good tips? Any good places to buy live rock??

210!? that is a big tank! Do you have previous experience in the hobby?

Welcome !! Are you going reef or fowlr ? Id start with dry rock and a ro unit if u dont have one already

 

[ColaAddict]

Start with dry rock and save money. I would cure them in a smaller tank or tub, so you save water since you will have to do a huge water change once rocks are cured in a 210 gal tank. Once cured, then transfer to your tank.

Welcome! That's a nice tank to start with, definitely got to keep us updated with tank build pics.

Yes a few years back I had a 60 gallon salt water and last year I sold my 180 fresh water tank.

Hi and welcome to CR.

Thanks and yes I am doing a reef tank. Looking to find a good deal on some live rock.

Welcome.

I'd buy dry rock from BRS, shape it and set it up how you want, prevent pest from coming. Then get DR Tims or seed the tank with a piece of rock. just my two cents.

 

[MikeyB]

Theres also a group buy on BRS starting monday so you should be able to get a good deal on them.

I agree with alot of the above, ive started with about 80% dry and seeded with 20% live and after 6-8 months things really started looking good

[scottjm84]
