    I have a 150 g. tank and i need a lot more rock. I was just wondering if anyone has ever bought from gulf view. Or if there is somewhere better that people like to buy from.

    I just slowly added base rock, It all turns out the same given the right amount of patience.

    I thought I posted this yesterday but maybe I forgot. I bought from GulfView and the rock is amazing. I went there and saw all his rock and setup. Awesome. I got tons of life on mine and I bought the cheaper rock he sells.

    Im about to order for my 120 from www.liverockandmore.com. It is aquaculterd rock from the FL. Keys as oppsoed to the Gulf of Mexico. Not sure one is better then the other, I just like Keys rock better. Plus the prices are good - $4 a pound, shipping included. Hopefully its nice stuff, I will be sure to post when I get it. I talked to the diver that collects it yesterday, and he seemed knowledgable, and is willing to hand pick rocks for me (size, shape, etc).

    I just bought 30 lb of Bali rock today, in Valparaiso, In. at place called Pet Haven. It looks really good: it looks ALIVE! I declare I may actually have a sponge on it. It has alot of purple stuff on it, little nubbins that could be good stuff, and green plants that I can't identify yet. Lots of little hole and crevices for hitchhikers.

    From previous reading this stuff must have been carefully wrapped and shipped, it looks good and smells good.
