I bought a couple of pieces a while back and they were loaded with good stuff. I had a small colony of porities (I think) grow off of it, now about 4 inches long. Along with this was an encrusting brown coralline algae, some Halmidia, a couple sea squirts, and the best purrple coralline in my tank, it forms in these layered plates. Of course, I bought these from an LFS because of their quality, but I was still very happy.

I got 90 lbs of it a couple months ago. Very nice. Lots of life. Just had to weed out the Mantis shrimp. That was the only negative.

Folks, I hate to keep deleting posts over stores, but I have to. Type " florida aquacultured rock" into google, and it is THE FIRST page on the list. Very very very easy to find without using this site. Them's the rules, and I just told you how. I can't be the only one that can figure that out. jibbittyflibbit asked a question, he didn't ask who wants the stores name. florida aquacultured rock is pretty much a trade mark of a certain store, and any search engine will have it as the very first site in a search.:)

My bad then, but the main place pushing the stuff came up as number one when I just searched Google. Lots of bad with the good on that stuff. I usually go for shape and color, and add whatever safe creatures I want later, but we all have our own ways, and finding things you didn't know about is pretty cool. Just alot of negatives also on the FA liverock. Your choice.

Actually I just looked again, and the top two sites are the same place.....guys, I hope you don't think I'm power tripping, but nobody can even talk about the rock they got or show pics without ten to twenty people asking them to email the store.....I am not sure where it started that emailing bypasses the rules, but it doesn't. Everytime I see a post that is like "look at my new rock", I say to myself........"oh crap self, here we go again". I realize most BBs allow it....we don't. Although the rules are tight on that subject, this board has plenty of other reasons to stay, and since you guys do, I know you like it here (with rules and all) just like I do.....know what I mean? I will do this to prove it. I am going to find an excellent piece of rock that I don't even have, post a pic, and I will wait about a week to do this. I will have never actually bought this rock, but I will say I did......just like any store could come and do. Watch how many people ask where, and are ready to buy. This is why we don't want it here. We have this rule so we ARE SURE that no spam flinging stores come here acting like members. How do you even know I bought the rock and am not a store? You don't. One week, and it won't even matter that I just said I am going to do it..........watch and see. It will be a lie, in one week, and people will be ready to buy from where ever I tell them......
