20-30lbs or so. I’m trying to spend as little as possible. I’m just worried about shipping prices. I found some macro rock on amazon with free shipping because of prime
I just shipped close to 20lbs or rock stateside yesterday, and it wasn't quite $1/lb to ship closer to $0.75/lb...40lbs to Canada..ehh cough cough ;Hilarious ...was about $1.50/lb to ship... so really, the shipping isn't that bad. If I can get rock for less than $3 /lb

@Katrina71 I don't want to muck up your dark wall white tank thread since I have the opposite and thus cannot post any pics, so I'll post here

Have you thought about using a sponge technique on the tank cabinetry with a hue that would compliment the wall to soften the sharp contrast.

My thoughts on solid white (or black), is the room is done in that style (ie the black laquer lots of glass and stainless steel trim) it would be fine, but if the the room is in soft textures, the sharp lines of the tank would be out of place. Sponge painting would soften the contrast with the wall and bring more attention to inside the tank.


just my two cents courtesy of the 20+ years previous co-habitation situation, when we had an interior designer on retainer.

It'll be stark white. I actually wanted to see what people did with the back wall in those tanks. Genius people on here. Wanted to make sure there wasn't a nicer option I hadn't thought of.

taste is personal, so just my personal taste; hang pictures, art etc on the dark wall to break it up, the white tank will still stand out and the plain white against a broken (ie textured) dark wall would be nice. Unless, of course, you are going for the sharp lines/contrast/minimalist look. Then ignore everything I said.
