Btw today is my birthday and that's how I got to go to several LFS's. My family had a great time looking at all the fish, and I finally convinced my mom to let me get a lionfish! Victory!
So there's this guy who owns a LFS(a very nice one) he doesn't use a single grain of sand, all crushed coral. He says that the sand traps ammonia in, he had a good point, il probably spend 4 hours changing to crushed coral (idc) He also suggested 120 pounds of live rock, he sells it for 5 bucks a pound! At the other store (much more successful, and bigger) They sell a type that is man-made with a special blend of materials, then the company puts the LR in the ocean for a few months. The LR that is 8 bucks a pound is A LOT more porous, it has great shape with lots of surface area.
Is LR needed by the pound or by surface area?
