Thanks for the replies guys!
today i'll be getting my order for 50 lbs of live rock(fiji, and from this site)
Cool! I have heard great things about SWF.coom's LR!
What is the benefit of going with mostly base rock?
Cheap is always good especially in this hobby, but I went with base rock to avoid the macro algae issue. I actually took some of the LR from my 30 gallon that I took down and bleached and boiled it for this tank. A lot of the old rock I had was Fla aquacultured and it had a lot of halemdia on it which has no known predators and it would just suck the calcium out of my water. I also had this nasty red wire type macro algae that would start choking off my SPS if I didn't stay ahead of it. I left some of my old LR rock on my porch in the sun for 3 weeks and that nast red wire stuff was still alive!! The only thing that killed it was bleach. I just didn't want that to happen again!! I already have coraline growing on the base rock so it seems to be working out the way I had hoped so far! hopefully the macro will stay away this time!
