Did you like the rocks? I'm debating if I wanna use them cuz there cheap but idk lol

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Ythey are good and i forget the owners name but he is awesome to work with

I wish I put my triple baffle in between my skimmer/fuge instead of my fuge/return. I feel a lot of pods have a tough time getting through into the display. Also, I used DVD cases to space out my baffles when I was building it. Just some food for thought.

There are 2 types. One is anti-microbial and the other is not. You want the one that isn't. If memory serves, it's GE I. I used the Aqueon stuff and it worked fine.
