yup I saw that too. Did you notice that one of the octos was a BLUE RING? unbelievable.

OP yeah I agree with those that boil their LR from big al's. I bought two small pieces and left them on the deck to die for a week. If possible though, check with other reefers for usually better rock at usually better prices.

If I understand it correctly my boiled in water rock is going to be even worse than dry rock as far as nutrients go right? That's ok as I had to hand pick some particular rocks for an end of my tank that will basically be entirely open...

Thanks for all the replies. I've been watching the buy/sell/trade threads for LR that I can add directly to my tank. Trying to find some with no aiptasia.

It won't take you long to figure out which are the good LFS' here in Calgary to shop at and which to avoid.
