Live Rock Rubble

Where can I buy LR Rubble online? Can I just use smaller peices of LR in a SUMP? What's the differanct between the two? Peolpe have suggested cleaning it...how offten and how?

I get my rubble from the bottom of my LFS's LR tanks. Others just get a normal piece of rock and break it up with a hammer and chisel. I think most people like myself get rubble to put in our canister filters. I would say that if the pieces you have fit into your sump, just use them.

How offten and how to clean it? How much is needed to filter a 90gal tank that already has 110 + pds in the aquarium?

None is needed if you have that much LR in the tank. If you want you can add it but IMO not needed. I have none in either of my sumps and all is fine. I also say that it will trap waste over time like bioballs so that is why I don't have any in my sumps. Add it to the back of your tank behind the LR, it will give the pods more places to hide and reproduce.
