Base rock

What kind of rock makes good base rock? Limestone? Is there any kind you *can't* use?

Thanks!

you dont want rocks that may have minerals that may leach into the water, try www.hirocks.com, there plenty of good sites to get base rock, just remmember to seed it with a good peie of live rock

I got mine at www.reeferrocks.com They also send a pic of the rocks that you will get before they ship. Great customer service as well.

I have 2 large chunks of rock from Reeferrocks and they well "Rock"

Another good rock to use is "Lace Rock" and is available from many LFS's. (just rinse the stuff off really well first)
