Rock Comparison

[Hungriee]

Would you recommend Marco Rocks or Fiji Live Rock? For Marco Rocks, since they are dried would it affect a cycle?

Any pros or cons on which one is better?

i like marco rocks and have used it in numerous tanks. you'll have a quicker cycle with dry rock than with live rock, but you'll get less life. live rock is usually full of life where as dry rock is not.

but you'll get less life.

less life can include no bad crabs, no aptasia, no majano, not hydroids...
I seeded with 40lbs of fiji to the majority of dry base rock when I setup my 125g and still had some bad things pop up. so it is more of a risk.

+1 Just start w/ marco rock and seed it with a little cured live rock. You'll save money too.
