Finally got my gsp tank up to full marine recently. Today, i picked up some live rock from a guy on craigslist for roughly $1.70 per pound. I got 70lbs for $120. There were a couple snails, which have been eaten, and a few small corals and such. So far, the puffers have picked on the rocks a little and seem to be somewhat interested in it.

Got some nice pieces there. If you want that coraline algae to take off - and you do - keep calcium in the 380 to 420 ppm range. Phosphorous inhibits coraline growth, so keep it to a minimum as well.
