I use Totoka liverock and nothing else. Live rock is the most important part of a reef aquarium and to do its job right it must be very porous. The useable surface must be large. If you have 100lbs of live rock in your aquarium and only 1% consist of surface, then very little bacterias will be able to colonize it and filter the water.
The Totoka liverock is very porous and has a lot of fingers like extensions all over so the actual surface is HUGE. 20 lbs of Totoka equal 100lbs or hard non-porous and heavy liverock.
I consider more important to preserve the wild reef by keeping what I have in my tank alive so I wont have to buy tons of livestock that keep dying. Plus the liverock that we have in our aquarium rarely goes to waste. If I get out of the hobby I will sell my liverock to other hobbiest starting. It's easy to sell good liverock.
