    Narrowed it down to either Reef cleaners, BRS pukani, or maybe the macro rocks key largo stuff. Not too sure about the last one.

    Anyways what did you guys use?

    I got my dry rock from BRS, I got 50 pounds of rock for my new build and a 10 pound rock of the Pukani. In hindsight I probably would have gotten all Pukani because its half as dense and you can scape with it much better and you can chisel out really cool caves and stuff. The reef saver is super dense. I hear the Pukani can leach out phosphate tho.

    I thought about that but reef cleaners rock is $63 for 30 lbs, free shipping, and they add in a macro algae for $.01. I went through BRS and did a mock order and it came out to $126 plus shipping. I'll be purchasing from Reef cleaners tomorrow

    reefrocks.net is where I got mine. Very clean and porous. Also mined from a quarry. They will even cut it flat if you want some nice base pieces. 40lbs free sand with 50lb rock purchase. You can see the rock on my build thread.
