Is live rock the only aquarium rock?

Are their any other kinds?

LR is the only type of rock that you want in your aquarium however there are a bunch of different kinds of live rock

Lace rock and base rock (dead coral) are often used in marine aquariums.

...as is bulk limestone, too.

bulkreefsupply can supply decently priced dry rock. It takes longer to get an aquarium up and going with it but saves a decent amount of money. Just look at reviews on the different kinds some have had phosphate leaching with specific types from them.

No there are several other types of rock that can be used in sw set ups

The term "LIVE ROCK" only means it's been wet long enough to have aerobic bacteria growing on it. It has nothing to due with the composition of the rock itself.

You can pretty much put in any rock you want as long as you understand how that rock/mineral will impact your water chemsity.

I've been using lava rock for a little while now. I think it looks nicer in the display than LR, and I haven't noticed a change in water chemistry.
Although I still use plenty of LR down in the filter
