I have some but I got it about three and a half years ago. I ended up buying a mixture of live rock from them and was very pleased. You can call and they will be more than helpful as far as size and stuff.

I had ~50# in my last tank and loved it. I've had about 4 different types of rock and liked the MI stuff the best.

I actually have 100# arriving today so I will take pics and post them. I have a new 300gal I'm setting up and this is my first of several rock orders.

Couple of small pieces I added from my other tank to help seed the new setup

I didnt get my rock from Premium Aquatics, but all my rock is Marshall Islands. IMO its the best rock there is. Heres a tank shot so u can see the rock and how i arranged it. The tank is about 5 months old. (Coraline is growing incredibly fast under the VHO's)

Its very open rock, lots of holes. It almost looks a lot like tree roots all wrapped around eachother. One good thing is you can get away with less lbs per gallon to filter your tank because of its porous form. There is a lot more surfac e area and room for water to flow through it. There is about 140lbs of rock in the 120g in the pic and as u can c it tanks up a lot of room. If it was one of the more dense rocks it would be a lot more weight which equals a lot more $. Just a few things to consider. Sorry u dont like the look of it.
