Best Liverock for Aquascaping?

We all want those great arches and caves. What have you used to achieve the best look in your tank? Have any great aquascaping pictures? Just want to see what people think.

I have upgraded my tank from a 44G to a 90G & I know I will be going to Tampabay Saltwater soon. All I know is you need to have lots of nooks & crannies for your fish to get in & out of... also do not place LR directly on the glass of your tank otherwise you will not be able to clean the algae or coraline that will grow on the glass.

Lalo rock, IMO, is great for aquascaping. It's very irregular in shape, light and porous (with numerous holes and protrusions) as compared for Fiji rock, which is mostly dense boulders.

If I were you I would go to Liverocks .com located in New Port Richey, they have much lower prices for the same Fl aquacultured rock as TB. Talk to Mike and he will hook you up with some nice Fl rock.
Super nice guy and 4 huge vats of LR to pick from. I went down there and picked up 140 lbs a year ago.

Marshall Island is very nice, and easy to set frags into.
