Order in the court

I was there yesterday. There was a lot of dry rock still available.

I noticed the mention of dry rock on the forums almost by accident. I stopped in today to have a look, and left with a bunch of rock.

Most of the dry rock I see for sale these days is dense, heavy "bowling ball" pieces that are only useful as a base for the other rock in the tank. But those boulders don't provide much biological surface area.

The dry rock pieces that I picked up today were fabulous. Lightweight and open, and lots of interesting shapes. If they were already grown out with coraline algae, they would be pieces to drool over. The kind of pieces that I almost never find in live rock tanks.

I appreciate a LFS that will go to the trouble of bringing in something like this. I'm sure it's not as profitable as live rock, but it really will make a tank look nice.
