I am getting ready to purchase some lr but dont know where i would like to buy it here but am afraid of the quality if i but 50 lbs will it be good quality how many pieces roughly do you think i would receive? is it fully curred and ready to go in the reef does it have bad stuff on it like mantis or caularpa? does it have good coral line growth?
 
I can get LR for 2.10 a pound in CALIFORNIA(uncured)
=) This site I heard sells pretty good LR..Osn't Caulparpa suppose to be good?

calupera is good for a tank
but if you have certain types and no one to eat it, it can take over on you, it needs pruned
but it does:
filter the water
add oxygen
and provide food and shelter to dreatures in the tank

in my opinion caularpa is bad because this rock is going into the display tank and i dont want the caularpa to grow over everything also here is the orginal ?

I bought about 25# of Figi LR from this site about 4 months ago and have been very happy with it - a good variation of sizes and shapes. There was only a small amount of purple coraline, however, it spread very quickly! It is cured but you will naturally get some die off during shipping - I would cure it yourself if you are adding it to an established tank.

I'd say try ----. I purchased 98lbs of it on there for 375 dollars shipped and I had very, VERY little die off, and the corralline colors were AWSOME! That is my own opinion because the cheapest liverock in 100 miles from me is 10.99 a lb. Too much for my taste.

Caulerpa is pretty easy to prune and take care of. It grows fast but if you keep it in one spot of your tank and monitor it, it would be great to have.
