Yeah I have bought rock from VividAquarium.com and they have some pretty nice rock. We got different sizes and their was a ton of color on all of the pieces. Its just a shame that I lost it all (the color) when I was staying at a friends house cause of my foot a while back.

Coraline algae is just that it is algae and living. If the rock is out of the water for a long time it turns white and dies. Usually when you get live rock the coraline is white and takes a month or two to come back. Guppy did yours not come back? It will regrow over the white stuff left. The rock I bought from Premium Aquatics was almost all white when I got it but it is 7 months later and look at the colour it has now.

This is when I first put it in my tank


This was a few weeks ago

even if its not top notch quality 1.99/lb isn't bad at all!

where did you find it at 1.99? I contacted sales@waltsmith and they said to contact there california branch? Was there a website you actually ordered the rock from (I oculdnt find it at waltsmith.com as they only sell to retailers?)

the only thing bad about the place im gonna order from is they only ship on monday.. but since its comming from FL it won't take no more than 2 days to get here i don't think.. if your on the west coast they are selling it for like 2.15/lb but their shipping is more.. i didn't get a chance to order it yet.. waiting on my seio 1500 to get here.. but when i do get it ill post some pics.. from the pics that the place has on their page it looks like some awsome rock! just have to wait and see i guess.. gonna be a long wait till next wensday..
