Base Rock

Who's looking for some base rock?

I have 110 lbs of Jakarta rock and 50 lbs of Fiji rock laying around that needs to go.

Do you know the spectral output of the whites especially the 14k? The plants you have are easy, except for the Marsilea, so they should grow well. Are you fertilizing or using CO2?
