	Difference in Quality of LR
Forever-mango Fish Addict Posts: 611 Kudos: 586 Votes: 35 Registered: 01-Dec-2003	Recently I have seen in a newly opened LFS with some premium LR for $15/kg. Some of have some hitchiked corals and macroalgae. I would like to ask what is the difference between the normal base rock and the premium stuff. Because I have seen normal LR with macro algae and corals, but one is labeled LR and one is Premium LR and with different prices.

If your patient you may as well get the regular stuff, it probably all comes from the same place, and if you give it time it should look just like the premium stuff given good water conditions.

Is it ok if I get one piece of Premium LR with Lots of Macroalgae and place it in my tank and hope nothing on it died? I current have a bunch on macroalgae growing in the center of the tank, so if I add more macroalgae, do you thing it will survive?
