I totally understand. We just upgraded from a 75 to a 180 -- that was four hundred dollars in rock, just to add enough to fill the 180. Kind of makes you not want to upgrade at all!
Live Rock lb's for a 55g FOWLR?

I hear that justonemore, the shipping can be killer even though the per lb prices are much lower online, but I tried to find a happy medium by getting the dry to be seeded.
thanks ocean, baby steps, I would love to get some corals as things get up and running!

We're just now adding corals -- we didn't even have them in our 75, and that was set up 2 years ago! We're sticking with mushrooms. Yet another thing about setting up a new SW tank is lighting, and that can be quite a hurdle when it comes to finances! I like SW, but there's a reason we have 1300 or so gallons more of FW systems than SW. Other than the magical benefits of live rock, I'd pick setting up a FW system over SW any day.
Reef lighting must be intense or else the corals won't live... it is consider a failure, for corals live for decades and decades... and if it dies in only 1 hear... it is consider a fail... quoted from some weird book and edited by me...

Mushrooms are low-light corals, as are zoanthids. It can be done with less light, if you research and choose the right corals for the light that you have.
