Florida cultured rock?

[Danyal]

from experience i can say that the cured fiji rock isn't going to have anything live on it except a few feather dusters, it sits for a week or so in fiji getting sprayed with freshwater to kill the organisms on it which is why people don't complain about getting crabs and hitchhikers from it, uncured florida rock is going to have a ton more live because places like TBS(tampabaysaltwater) pull it out of the ocean and ship on the same day or the next day.

Fiji rock is better. Florida rock doesnt have as much life growing on the rocks because of less nutrients in the water

all liverocks are a hit or miss with the amount of organisms, so why not go for the cheaper cultured ones if it's available?

For me I'll pay more for Marshall Island or deepwater Kaelini any day. I personally like a mix of live rock to add to the diversity and so far have not bought any I haven't handpicked. If I were to buy offline I'd probably just go base rock from someone like Marco.
