#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Some rock that I have heard is good for swa is Texas Holey rock. It is typically used on cichlid tank since it acts like a buffer for the ph. Doesnt raise it too much, but it is as expansive as ****. Looks great though. Very porous lime stone as well. Look into it if your interested.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

I'm sure you're speaking of lace rock... it may also leach phosphates.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Nope no lace rock... it is completely different. Here is some material on it. #ed_op#A href="http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/tx_holey_rock.php"#ed_cl#http://www.cichlid-forum.com/article...op#/DIV#ed_cl#

i heard that that rock is really good for fresh water cichlids but it leaches bad stuff out in salt water just like lava rock.

What is Cotton candy algae and what does it look like. Im guessing it is not a good algae either.

[peregrinus]

look in the pics the red fuzzy stuff is the algae. it kinda got out of control in my tank.
