Live rock question

[danidavis]

I am wanting ot put some more LR in my tank. I currently have 25# and would like to get another 25#. The LR I have now is the Florida rock from this site. Does anybody know if it is okay to mix rock from different locations? This may be a dumb question, I am new at this and don't want to do anything horribly wrong.
Thanks for any help!

Yes it's fine if you do so. Adds more diversity and life.

danidavis,
It is ok to mix live rock. It all depends on what look you want. Fiji live rock is bumpy. Tonga is sometines long and skinny. I like all different kinds mixed. Even some dead rock in nice shapes can be added and will eventaully become "live" with coraline growth. Hope this helps.

I love living in FL - I drove to the other coast and picked up 50#s of baserock for $50. Not a bad deal at all. Of course, now that it's been in the tank for a couple of months, it's no longer just baserock. It's really starting to look killer.:happy:
If anyone (in FL) needs a contact, let me know.
