What Do You All Think?

[30reef]

So I came across this today!

This is artificial rock, It has removable shelves which also are drilled with frag holes.
I found this just in time because I was just about to scape the tank.
Now that I've found this I'm having second thoughts about "real rock" and thinking about this artificial rock
I'm planning on doing SPS coral with a few LPS.
Thoughts on this?

I know a few people that have stuff similar to this. They work pretty well IMO. Only thing to consider is you will still need live rock. Maybe in a sump or what ever. These are not very porous (at least the ones I have seen) so dont provide much surface area for bacteria. Also live rock contains a buffering capability that this can not.

I'd use and put few "real rocks" around it.

Where can I buy that?

Did you use this and where did you find this artificial rock?

I have a very similar structure in my 93 cube and there is no better centerpiece and layout for some beautiful frags.

This OP post is from 2016 (?)

Honestly, I think it looks like smthg my wife would buy to hold her jewelry on her dresser

It looks unnatural, meaning smthg you wouldn't find in a wild reef environment

Just sayin.....
