marco rocks
Ok just some quick questions about marco rocks.
!) What is it exactly? Is it real rock just dried out or is it DIY rock? 2) If I want to use almost all marco rock for a 120, from what I have read in other threads about 100 pounds of dry marco rocks equals about 150-200 pounds of "normal/wet" live rock. So I could order about 115 pounds and it will be enough for my tank right? Thanks for the help guys. |

I got 50 lbs for my 72 and I have a couple of the rocks in my stand because it took up so much room. Just go to his website and you will get all the answers. I am very happy with what I have. Its real and its great. Incredibly pourous. I highly advise it.

I think 115lbs might be too much. Here is my 120 with 50lbs of marco fiji and 25 lbs of marco tonga.
 And here is a shot with an additional 30 lbs of live rock.  I have rearranged it a few times since that picture. It seems just about the right lbs to me. |

I got some MarcoRocks and they are "real" rock, just not harvested from a living reef. They are super light and I am very impressed with them. Just add a piece of LR along with your MarcoRocks to get some life in your tank and I think you will be very happy.

Incredible how much you get from so little weight. Thanks for the answers guys. Any clue on the shipping? Thanks again.

Shipping is generally less than $30 for 50 lbs. on his website. He sells on eBay under marco.67 and right now has 50lbs for $115 plus $17 for shipping.

I got 50lbs of the marco rocks also. Like the rock alot. He is also a really great guy to talk to. Give him a call and let him know what you are looking for. He was very helpful to me and I will most likely be buying more. Looking at the tonga shelf rock.

just to weigh in, got 50# shipped a couple of weeks ago and very happy with the quality. I believe on the website you can put in a zip code and get an actual quote on the shipping cost. Overall a good deal.

call him up. The more you buy the cheaper the shipping.... it's about 30 to ship 50# to colorado. We are doing a group buy, and right now I have orders for about 350#.

I ordered 50#'s for my 120... I made 2 large columns, added some to the sump, and fuge... There was alot more then I thought there was... I just added 60lbs of LR last nite.. perfect amount, although It would've been plenty with a standard 45#lb box of LR.... I got extra in my sump.....
As for what kind of rock it is... It looks EXACTLY like some dried out 'Premium Fiji Pukani' LR that I have..... Without all the pretty colors...

It's worth it, I originally thought it was expensive for 'dead' rock.. but... now that I see the shapes and the lightweight of it... it's worth it
