If your set on Texas holey rock your gonna probably spend a small fortune on that stuff, it seems to be pretty expensive. Your best bet for money and weight is lace rock, the stuff stacks nicely and you can usually buy if for 2.00/lb or less.

The Tropicorium and The Fish Guy sell the lace rock for $2 or less/lb. They have some great looking pieces. I am buying this rock now to supplement my live rock...don't have to worry about any hitchikers like mantis shrimp or aptasia, and after a month or two, it is "live" and completely covered in corraline, zoas or other corals.

Last time I was at Kee's they had Texas Holey rock. Forget the price, but I don't remember it being cheap. I considered it for base rock but didn't get it due to the price.

Slate is non-porous < that's why it makes a nice counter top.....

I have slate in my 90..... I run it as a BB tank with large slate tiles that my LR sits on. You can get the large Tiles at Home Depot or call Genesee in Flint (they have other locations) & there is Dixie Cut Stone in Novi (they have other locations) they both carry quite a bit ........ If you need the numbers let me know I can get them for you.
