So another question about the live rock (thanks by the way for the knowledge of cured vs uncured) I see many people with all sorts of different live rock. When I was in a "pet store/fish store" the lady quoted to try to stick to the purple rock.....I am still unsure of the reasoning. My question is there are more than one type of live rock, should you keep it the same...or mix and match.... Does it matter about color? or just preference? I am sure there is price differences as well? Thanks in advance.



Thanks for the advice from everyone!! keep it coming!!! I was up until 3:00am reading the forum and surfing the web. This is very exciting......and I don't even have anything yet!!
