    I have caribbean rock. At the time this was the only rock my lfs had in stock. If I had a choice now I would get either tonga or Pukani rock.

    here is about a third of my florida base (~40 lbs) ... if it was 40 lbs of fiji it would probably be half that size...

    Tough call - Fiji rock I guess - more solid and looks cooler so these sit in prime locations for corals to attach. The Tonga I got was more branched and has a huge amount of surface area for bacteria etc. plus it gives a number of bolt holes - good also. I have equal; amounts of Tonga, Fiji and standard base rock. Best to mix I guess but in the end you pick the shapes you like.
