    Which type of Live Rock do you have the best chances of getting some flatter pieces?? or is this just a ridiculous question?

    Ben Dover...if you are reading this, your tank has some nice flatter pieces, what are they and where did you get them?

    Do any on line places let you request certain shapes??

    I am interested in some nice aquascaping with ledges and caves.... any suggestions? (no, I do not want to make my own rocks......) ;D

    BL,

    Probably a stupid question but aren't there any LFS's that have rock that you can visit?

    heh... one of my local fish stores has like 3 pieces of liverock, for 7.99 a pound... i just find it funny that that is all they have for sale! the only other store around here DOES have good LR, 2 or 3 tubs chock full of LR, they let you pick out whatever you want.. i bought a little bit at a time for a couple of rounds, then ended up buying in bulk (50 lbs i think) and got better rock then when i picked it out myself... i've got one nice rock that is in the shape of Africa, and about 4 or 5 others that are nice and flat...
