I'm looking for Live Rock that has the most varied life on it, any other suggestions. Also if you havent been to the marine centers web site for online fish check it out. They have one of the largest varieties of Angels, Butterfly's and Triggers including rare and hard to find specimens. | |

I bought about 80 pounds of liverock from * http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com for $5 a pound and some baserock for $2 a pound, and the base rock looked as good as some of the LFS $8 a pound stuff.
The problem I felt with buying this type of rock was that there was so much life on it I didn't have any place to put the corals I purchased without covering something up. Sounds funny doesn't it. I realize now that If I had to do it over again I would buy less of the Deco rock and more of the base. I just want more coralline growth right now.

Thanks for the thread to tampabaysaltwater.com, the pictures of their live rock looks awesome. I think I will give them a try, all their rock looks like it is teaming with life, although they are a little bit pricey. Did you buy florida rock or gulf rock? Thanks!
