If you are using a sump and have room in it, add your live rock there. You get the benefits of live rock for your overall system and can avoid the "box of rocks" look in your display tank.

You might want to consider a sea cucumber and a brittle star. I've got 2 cucumbers and 2 brittle stars in my 115 gal reef tank and they do a nice job of keeping my sand bed clean.

Since you indicate your transport time is approximately 5-6 hours, I'd suggest using several ice chests (buy a number of inexpensive Styrofoam ice chests if needed). Use these to transport rock,...

I've had a Rose Anenone for about 5 years. I don't really know how old it is because it has probably split a dozen or more times so I'm not really sure how old you would say it (they) are. I've...

Be patient and keep your eyes open for used systems. Every now and then you can get a "deal" because someone is getting out of the hobby and you can buy a pretty good system for $600.

A 4 to 1 ration of waste water to good water is pretty good. I get about 5 to 1 myself. While this may seem like a lot of $$$ down the drain (no pun intended), if you figure your cost per gallon...

Depends on the makup of the ornament. As long as it is not metalic, you are probably safe with adding it to your tank. If it is metalic, I wouldn't add it.
