I have read - for months - all the pros and cons, but decided to invest in Richard and Mark's company and the product they provide. They say a picture is worth a thousand words... just take a look at this...

This is just one photo of one of the pieces in my 155 gallon bow-front. It has been in for 12 days - cycle for first half is over - numbers are all good, polyps are extended, macro is growing, fish is happy (I know about the fish - but I couldn't resist the pressure from my kids any more - so I got a cheap fish).

Time for the 2nd half. I expect as great of a result. More pics soon...

Thanks, TBS!

Here is a bigger full tank shot. Wasn't happy with the first one...

That's 300lbs? Looks deceiving... I have a 72g and I want a little fuller look, so Im thinking 150lbs will be good. What do you think?

Also, did you get the Package?

150lbs should do the trick. I did get the package. The key to success is getting the rock into the acquarium as soon as practical. Mine flew out of TB at 1 PM and in the tank by 6PM. The cycle for the first half was painless - I am hoping the second will be the same. So far, so good.

Good luck!
