Best rock for LR

Post by xrayjeeper83 »

As the title says, what is the best rock to make LR. Got a buddy with a 55 that said I could toss in some rocks to seed them

But is there a type of rock that is better for it. As in

Coquina http://www.stoneplus.com/productpix/large/boul_cb.jpg

Lace http://www.stoneplus.com/productpix/large/boul_lr.jpg

Florida Fieldstone http://www.stoneplus.com/productpix/large/boul_ff.jpg

or possible something else?
