What is your favorite rock type to use in an aqua scape?

Really depends on the scape.

Definitely honeycomb limestone.

Interesting. It does give the fish a lot of spaces to swim through. I have learned that limestone when used with plants and shrimp can be tricky because it tends to raise the gh and kh and possibly ph at times. Thats why im thinking i want to to steer away from it in some planted tanks, but it is perfect for just a fully rock aquarium like yours. Im sure some plants would do just fine with it tho.

Yeah. Anubias, Java Fern & moss do well.
My local water is already hard with an 8.2 PH. The limestone has little to no effect on the parameters.

Limestone will definitely up the PH and buffer the water if placed in soft acidic water.

Many of the fish I keep are vegetarian so no plants for now.
