Default good stuff

hey Grizz, thats a good find, I always wanted to try these, but not a lot of places carry it, but now at 3.5/lb and free shipping, it works for the pocket and we can do a little more to help the natural reefs.

That's for the Fiji Dry rock that BRS sells... They will ship their BRS Reef Saver rock across the border though. Which is basically the same as this stuff by the looks of it.

Not sure, but their rock looks like the DIY rock (site says 70% aragonite, 30% concrete) - not mined dry rock like Marco rock or BRS reef saver rock.

You get more interesting shapes, but the texture of the rock as well as the density/porosity would be very different.

I think in general the shapes offered by this (ecoLiveRock) are more interesting, but the Marco rocks/BRS texture and natural formation would be more appealing to myself.

Kudos to Eco Live Rock though for donating their proceeds to the reefs
