Lots of live rock questions today

One place you could check would be www.liverocks.com they are one of our sponsors and if your really interested you can post in their sponsor forum. They offer FL aquaculture rock.

For Fiji rock you could look at www.liveaquaria.com or just about any other decent size online retailer. 99% of the fiji rock comes from the same source (Walt Smith International).

Well for inverts that you can get away with on a 90 gal tank with 3 regular florecent bulbs I would have to say hermits and shrimp. I really don tknow many corals that you couldkeep under such low light conditions. I dont even think mushrooms would fair very well.

How much rock to get? Well if you intend on using the rock as a filter then loook for at least 1lb per gal of rock and if you can afford it closer to 1.5lbs per gal of tank capacity.

So in your case that would be 60-105lbs of live rock.

WEll like i said 99% of all fiji rock comes from the same source reguarless of where you buy it. So you can count on the rock from petsolutions is basicly the same fiji rock from liveaquariua and the same from marinedepot, etc.

Petsoutions price is $79.99 for 45lbs but then add $69 for two day shipping and even more for next day shipping.

I have not delt with petsolutions personally but in reality your not getting your rock from them as its shipped directly from fiji to LA and then once it hits the docs at LA it goes to your location.

Cool. If you do and this goes for anyone else. Please mention that you saw or heard about them from this site.

Sponsors like to hear that their ad dollars are getting them customers as well as exposure. Sponsors go a long way in helping keep the site's expenses under control.
