Keep it separate Neal.
Plumbing the rock tank in with a fish system or coral system is asking for trouble.

Yup, too many reasons NOT to do it.

BTW, just to clarify.
I wasn't pointing any fingers at anyone or suggesting that any stores actually did have them attached because I am not 100 percent sure.
just wanted people's opinions.
thanks again
Neal

If I'm paying THAT kind of money for LR it better be perfect. Also they better have just the perfect piece that I am looking for. Seeing the state of certain stores fish rooms does not inspire me with confidence.

I can't believe people actually buy rock from BA. The one near us is full of aiptasia and hydroids. And they want $8 / lb for it... Scary!!
