Anyone knows anything about them? https://bommiereef.com/ im starting a new 150, and the idea of having live rock without hitchhikers is nice. Any experience anyone would love sharing?

I dont know i talked to them a while ago, and they claim to have tons of purchasers they are just not big on forums and online stuff which is werid they are not knowns here at r2r. I like the idea of their rocks being raided in tanks for a year and then they sell them. So u know u dont get hitch hikers and etc

Is it just me or it comes off as something you can do yourself with some bottled bac and time. I'd still take the good/bad of ocean harvested rock first, more diversity.

U can but the thing is having rocks that are already established can help. Ofc u still want to cycle the tank. But having a lot of bacterias off the start is a nice start

I like what I see. Would be great to hear from an actual customer though.

There is no doubt live rock makes starting a new tank much easier. I personally would always just use live rock from the ocean. The real stuff is always way more beautiful and full of life than any tank grown rock will ever be. I really enjoy the hitchhiker part as well but I understand that isn't for everyone.

The preference is generally live rock with live specimens/culture opposed to aquacultured with coralline. KPS and Tampa Bay rock is the most popular with reefers but poses risk with hitchhikers but almost the same cost.

I was debating on buying some. I just ended up needing to save some money but they look neat so maybe you can give us a review
