I like the fact that it is kured and there is to different qualities, the standard & the premium. If I was to order some I think I would get the majority in standard but get 1/3 of the quanity in the premium to get some with a little coralline. It is still cheeper then live rock for me as I have to drive to Calgary or Edmonton to get it from the LFS. Have not found anyone selling any LR out of there tank here in Red Deer yet.

The only down fall I see with ReefRocks is that you have to buy 80lbs to get free shipping. with Eco you can buy as little as 20lbs to get free shipping.

Maybe I'm a skeptic but how do they define 100% profits? Do they pay themselves a salary first and then the rest is profit? If so what percentage is left over as profit? I can't see to many people taking the time and effort to make rock and and not be compensated for their time.

Just wondering...

are eco-live-rocks originally made from concrete?

Yes. Our eco-live-rocks are made with some concrete (aprox 30%) ... However, most of the raw material is calcium carbonate (aragonite sand, coral fragments, shell bits of oysters, mussels, scallops and snails).

The concrete used in the mixture is fully reacted. These rocks are fully "kured"... That is, the by-product of the hardening reaction of concrete (calcium hydroxide), already leached out of the rocks. Our eco-live-rock are 100% tank-safe.

No, just found it and thought it was worth sharing seeing as it's a Canadian vendor.

Sorry it was actually me posting, Josh forgot to logoff.

What I was getting at, is it sounds like homemade rock to me. You can do this yourself.

Ya sure you could if you have the time & patience to do so, lol. Neither things I have especially the later. I really only need maybe 20 - 30 lbs to finish off my tanks and can't find any LR for sale cheep in Red Deer.
