I just bought from Marine Depot and was happy with what I got.

Its Craiglist, FB Marketplace, etc I would be concerned about that isn't really 'dry'.

I used the dry rock from Amazon in my last built, the rocks are heavy and dense. I think the best dry rock is Marco Rock, porous & light weight.

The only rocks with reasonable porosity are actual coral skeletons (pukani, etc). Since no supplier still carries it, your second best bet is to find some on craigslist etc.

Of course your actual best bet is live rock.

MarcoRocks all the way for me, light, porous, and clean unlike Pukani.

jerrod · May 2, 2020

To me any old dry rock that’s came out of the ocean is best whether Pukani, fiji, or Tonga. Just cycle it to ensure organics are gone, you don’t have to worry about hitchhikers and it’s a lot more porous then mined rock.
