The established rock makes all the difference. It makes this look way better than it really is. I just so happen to have large barrels great for making all the rock you could ever use. lol and i still want to get that pallet of marco rock too. Great rock makes all the difference. Its just so expensive and can come with so many bad critters its scary to just go buy some. I'm trying to make as much of the stuff as i can from these starter rocks. They are as critter free as i think someone can get. I have a separate batch from what now is mixed into the tank here which could now host critters since there is LFS coral n fish in there. I keep the customers rocks n other related stuff totally separate to prevent cross contamination. These rocks are 9 yrs old and several years since anything new was introduced into the system. "no critters". It will take some time to get rock to look that way in a barrel or even in a tank. I have a second Radion to set up over the barrel and rock as soon as i get initiative n time. Im kinda into this scuba thing and then there is the lil man. Poor kid stuck out an hour in the LFS as i tried to pick out which rock flower I wanted...... I think i have the BUG....

Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.
THANKS Orlando Reef Educators Organization!!!!
