were not really talking about the organisms on the rock (although the organisms play a HUGE part in it) were talking about the rock itself, reefs make there own rocks that takes litterally centuries to create like once decent sized piece rock. Then it is chiselled out, taken to someones house, kept there until the person doesnt like the rock any more, then at some point the rock is left out of the tank, dried up, then just thrown away, at least you could put it back in the ocean! It is possible hammered down even more to rubble and that way it will be thrown out faster or something.
How many people do you think return there live rock to the respectful owners, the ocean?
Not enough life on aquacultured rock? Un-proven but if there isnt as much life, too bad, live with it, its life, respect our earth and out earth will respect us, dont destroy it since you think destroying nature has more benefits than making your own stuff. There are a lot more benefits to using aquacultured rock than regular live rock since we need to think about real reefs more than our mini-reefs in our living rooms. How do our mini-reefs benefit the world? Do they filter our ocean? Do they help with an eco-system, no, they are to our benefit and to nothing elses benefit. Buy aquacultured rock, buy tank raise/tank bred fish, buy aquacultured corals, and find ways to help the place you live in, our planet. I find taking live rock from our reefs very selfish but it is an IMO. The price difference is pretty much nil, they cost the same.
Same Price, Same job, one is more environmental.
If there are other alternatives to taking live things from nature, always take advantage, especially if they are the same price, if there is an alternative to paper rather than cutting down trees, and costs the same as normal paper and is just as good quality, there is no doubt i will be using that as well.
Like cars, unleaded and diesel gas cars have low gas mileage. Hybrids have high gas mileage. They both do the same thing (looking on ordinary street cars not big semi-trailers and stuff), but one is much much much better for the environment (and for your wallet). They are both similar prices at the beginning, with hybrids having a much less price in the long run, Which one would you chose?
