I have been thinking about what you could use to beef up your rock work without using all live rock. I have been toying with the idea of using lime stone. Where I grew up we lived on what has been explained to me as an ancent coral reef, which now is being mined for gravel. So my big question is can you use limestone rocks in a marine aquarium?

i'm usually a fan more of lace, texas holey, or tufa rocks.. but lime and sandstone would workout
that really answers my question, thanks a lot! I am still a fan of live rock, but if I were to build a large salt system then I could flesh out the rocks with the limestone rocks. we have some really beautiful field limestones that are pitted and knobby in shape. for base rock this would work well!
sounds like it would.. i thought for a minute you meant just like big old blocks of limestone
that'd look horrible
