We're finally starting to get there... Yesterday afternoon I ordered 25 lbs of cherry primo picked live rock from [URL="http://www.liverocknreef.com/liverock/index.php?l=product_detail&p=7921"]liverocknreef.com[/URL] as a seed for the BRS rock already in the tank. This morning it arrived at the airport, so off to pick it up and here's what it looks like:

I was pretty darn pleased with the amount of "life" there was on the "live" rock - and 25 lbs just disappeared into the tank without sacrificing the sparse 'clean' look I'm going for.
Hopefully the new rock will help out in cycling the tank, but there's no hurry... I'm planning on getting lighting up and running over Thanksgiving, and the real target is to have it all working by Xmas, so I'm well on target
