How to pick live rock?

[coraline79]

I bought rock in 2 stages. It might not be the ideal way for the tank, but it will help you aquascape it the way you want. I bought 22lbs of liverock, and a big 13lbs (dead)base rock on my first purchase......mostly due to finances. fortunately this gave me an idea of where I wanted to go with the structure, and get more familiar with it since this was my first go at Saltwater. I bought another 25lbs recently(fully cured), and finished out my aquascape(this makes a mixture of Tonga Branch, Fiji-premium, and "spaghetti" rock). I am very please with my setup, and happy that I was financially forced to make a 2 part purchase.

This is in my 30 long tank by the way.
