Re: 500 gallon tank

[MGRigby]

Ron, I have determined to the best of my ability that the has about 300 lbsl of live rock.  Going to need to add another 200 regardless.  Also, after examining the situation further the old rock, although having some brown algae buildup, looks like good rock.  I am going to borrow a good digital camera and take a a few PICS to send you so you can see for yourself.  He is looking at spending about three grand equip. alone and with live sand and 200 lbs of rock and the misc. stuff it gets on up to the 5 grand range.  I don't think he wants to go cheap but saving a couple thousand or so on live rock would help him a lot.  Also, with two of your skimmers that should help the situation some I would assume.  Have a few more questions about the pump configuration but will call you this weekend to ask them and get some equip. on the way?  Hope to have some $$ built into this project so I can order some ! livestock and a skimmer for my tank too. Thanks again for your help. Glen
