I also HIGHLY recommend http://www.gulf-view.com/ Dale's rock is even better than the pictures. He will give you the particular sizes and shapes you want at no extra charge. Tons,and I mean tons of life. I also like the fact that my money is going to the "little guy" rather than some big company.

VHO's ....he is at the bottom of the tank I'll try moving him Thanks

Collect what you can as seed from others or from what you already have. Put it in a blender with some tank water and pour the mix back in. Works great.
