Most of this is being shipped to me arriving Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm super excited! I'm going to order the 17lb nano special of live rock from gulfliverock.com on Tues-Wed. assuming everything ordered arrives on time.
The closest reef lfs to me other than a limited Petco and PetSmart is 90 minutes away. I will be going there to window shop tomorrow because my hubby has doctor appt there anyway. I might pick up some algae, live rock, sand or something while I'm there. That's what the 5 gallon aquarium is for.
I know I still need(want) live sand for a shallow sand bed. I also need a few 5 gallon buckets for water making and some plumbers putty for rocks.
Am I forgetting anything I need before adding shipped live rock? I don't want to have to scramble at last minute for something that I cant get at Petco or PetSmart.
