I only need about 15 lbs.

Ps. I also would like some new life for my sand bed. any ideas.

Thanx George Muller
This is what 1/2 of my non live rock was. Lace(aka calcium carbonate) rock and some tufa. good stuff

for those of you who were interested in what i was planning to do for my tank: i will not be using tufa. i picked up ~150lbs of base rock today for $150. most of the rest of the rock in my tank will be live. this stuff i got today even has some brittle stars in it (very much dead and dry).

if anyone has a few more chunks of dead rock i can get off them let, me know, i could use a few more chunks.

the way he describes it makes it sound like BC tufa.
