Does anyone use HI rock as their base rock? What are your opinions? Thoughts?? Thinking of getting some....
before you ask - no I don't have a tank or anything else yet - this would be my first purchase towards an eventual 72 gallon bowfront - possibly the 92+ gallon bow front ...

I just received some last Friday and it looks GREAT! The rock looks much better than just plain base rock. It has holes all throughout it. What I have done is bought some of their rock and seeded it with live rock, it saves a bunch of money.
What I would do for your 72 bowfront is buy 30# of the HI Rock and then seed it with the 45# box from here on swf.com.
I have heard from others that coralline algae will spread quickly on to the HI rock. I have not seen it yet, although I have only had the rock for a few days!
Hope this helps!
