First Time Salt Water Tank.....

[Xathron]

Well was messing around some with the rocks just to get some ideas. :oops: Still holding on one lost box of shelf rocks with some rubble. :mad:

I might need more rock ?

OK, looking at getting the power heads now. I was thinking about the XF280 Gyre Pump with controller. Thoughts need one or two ?

Thanks Brew, I agree I got a little over 200# of rock and I kept taking some off here and there it was looking to busy.
