I am planning to buy LR locally. What should I look for in LR beside coraline algae. I don't know how to determine good quality LR. Are these good LR? there is one guy who is trying to sell those rock. Thanks.

Thats lovely looking LR, i would stay away from just brown rock, and anyhting covered in brown or green algea. Look closely and you should see some critters on it.

Don't forget to smell it. If it smells like rotten eggs forget it.
