It worked for me :D But then I am signed in to msn. Maybe thats how it works??

BTW the green stuff is halimeda, a calcareous algae. Looks like nice rock

Christy :)

Thanks Christy. Now I have a name to look up in my books to find out if it is good algae or bad algae.

Definitely good. I love it. Of course others may not :wink:

Christy :)

Now I can see it. Looks good!

couldn't agree more with the comment about how much more life is on the rock in the photos versus rock in LFS's. i was in three LFS's in calgary today, and their "live" rock looks about as live as the base rock i picked up, which has been out of water for about five years.

Your comment is generally correct, but have you been to Gold's? His rock looked far better than the other guys' I have noticed that Big Al's, and Wai's is usually crap. If you get it at Pisces when it arrives, it is usually better, but the rest of the time it too is crap. :rolleyes:

never been to gold's. pisces had a chunk of red lava rock in their LR tank, which is rather deceiving to the uneducated reefer. but i've never been impressed by their starving triggers, dead mandarins being eaten by crabs and dried-out coral beauty angels on the ground. :mad:

I would suggest you avoid places you don't like. A number of us have recently made the trek to Gold Aquarium. They had some real nice Indonesian LR, with good growth and shapes, and relatively inexpensive. Don't ask, as I have forgotten the price. :smilecol:

i will have to check them out, as i will be needing a few large flat slabs of rock.
