The people at garf don't seem to have any issues with that and they have some rather nice stuff. I have seen it in tanks and had a piece in my tank for a long time( gave it back to my Bro-n-law when it got covered in GSP). I wouldn't do the whole tank with the stuff but cant see any issues with making base rock. You can add any number of food items to make smaller pores.

My Reef Rock came really small...most pieces about 4-6", and ugly. LOL. I'm worried that the Lace Rock will be small like this...?

You could always ask Marco Rocks if they will ship USPS...

Myka 12-15-2007 06:46 PM

I don't know if USPS will ship packages that big...but ya I did send them an email asking. Thanks! :)

I had 50 lbs. boxes of base rock shipped from Florida when I setup my tank. (through USPS) Shouldn't be a problem so long as they are willing.

Where did you get it? How much for a 50lb box?

Another source of very nice base rock;

you could use dead liverock from fellow reefers. You'll have to soak it in RO for a while and change the RO water to get out any nitrates and phosphates from the dead rock. very cheap and it looks JUST like liverock ;)
