i think i have found a good deal on the last 10 or so kg that i want for my tank. £4 per kg :D that should take me up to approx 40kg. we are on the move again
 
still waiting for contact details, but am visiting my old man today, so i dont have the time today anyway unfortunately
 
well i got it and reckon it's more like 14 or 15 kg rather than the 10 i intended as during the weigh in i did tend to "round up" a bit :hey: so all in all £50 for 15kg aint so bad, but to be honest i'm glad i got it so cheap, it's the kind of LR only a mother LR could love, the tank was pretty neglected and dark looking and to be honest and my first instinct was to walk away, but following advice gotten from here i had a good sniff first. I felt sorry for the guy in some respects (not the reason i bought the rock tho) as he had obviously become disillusioned with the whole thing, I dont know for sure but i got the impression he just threw a load of cash into getting a system together without researching properly, kept telling me how lovely marine tanks are when done properly. the tank was about 450l i think he said, and there was 1 lonely looking clown fish in there which i thought hard about rescuing but in the end i had to think about the health of my own tank so i left him behind :sad: there also seemed to be quite a bit of what i thought was cyano in there so first thing on getting home was to scrub the bejesus out of the rock, well anyway after the scrubbing it's now in my tank, i'm not expecting to see much in the way of hitchikers from this stuff, pics etc will be posted in my journal in due course, i know this sounds daft but i actually think i might have too much now :blink: so some of it will be relegated to the sump in time..........

Im sure there isnt too much! Im sure woody will rehome it if there is too much :lol:
I have loads of rubble taking up my sump as I had loads come on the 2nd lot! Just get lots more bacteria :D haha
 
I would probably be tempted to run rowaphos or similar if you think the rock was a bit neglected. Just to reduce future algea issues. or maybe chuck some cheato in the sump. Yeah i felt a bit sorry for the guy I bought my first tank from, then again I felt even more sorry for his fish.
 
i have now added the pics to my journal as woody seemed a little over excited and i didnt want him having a funny turn
