| Lace rock looks interesting. I love lava rock! One of the local stores here sells a lot but not sure I want to go that route. Too many choices! | |

| That is a great idea! I may hit up another local waterway. Ok another question. I put 50lbs of quitrete all purpose sand. How much crushed coral should I put in there? | |

| I read somewhere that I should put less than 5 lbs of crushed coral in there... I cleaned some today and put probably 4 ounces in there today, since its better to do it slow and I dont want to kill or stress my cycle fish. | |

| The blue lights come on with the whites. Can't really tell because glass from sand blasters for top so it's not clear glass
That depends on how you want it. Could just have one big pc. | |

| So this is the same light you sent me the ebay link for? Just wanted to make sure. I think I will get 2 pieces most likely as the middle of my tank is a lil bare at the moment. | |
