I'm going to use dry rockDo you have a type of rock you want to use?
I'm trying to keep it cheap because I really don't want to spend 50-60 dollars on rockA general rule is 1-2 lbs per gallon. Take it for what it’s worth, I tried that and ended up removing a few of the small pieces I had bought.
Your rock is something you will always be looking at. I suggest you choose wisely even if its not cheap.I'm trying to keep it cheap because I really don't want to spend 50-60 dollars on rock
With your above statement then this hobby is not for you period, and this hobby is not a cheap hobby.I'm trying to keep it cheap because I really don't want to spend 50-60 dollars on rock
It isn't cheap but it is do able. Wait for sales, or wait for a person quitting the hobby.With your above statement then this hobby is not for you period, and this hobby is not a cheap hobby.
He is talking about dry rock not live rock if I read the question correctly...

I've been looking all over the place and I found someone that is selling a whole bin of dry rock it's about 60 pounds of it for 25$Do understand that there are several great points made here and they are all correct. You can do a nice rock setup on a budget (it really is possible) if you are willing to hunt around. I set up a 30 gallon nano and I have somewhere between 40 lbs or so of live rock in it and I was able to find it for $3 a lb. I'm working on a 75 gallon right now and have found another 40 lbs or so for $2.50 a lb. My point is, deals are out there. Check those Craigslist ads or local Facebook groups. You'd be surprised with what you can find. Happy hunting!
