Eco Rox vs Marco Rock

Yeah, the Marco looks a little bit nicer, but probably once the eco rox gets some coraline on it, the difference will be minimized. How do the compare price-wise? What are each made out of?

 

Yeah, I can see advantages to both......and honestly, once a rock has been in a tank for a year and is covered with corals and coraline, who can tell the difference?

 

I got mine from Reefer rocks...very nice stuff...

Eco rock has three different types I believe. Which type did you get? The bigger shelf rock is probably the plainest but gives the most options when aquascaping. As far as rock goes I'd agree it really does not matter on the function of them. I'd have to say the look will always differ though. But any rock covered in coral looks great no matter what it is. Buyig the dry rock might be the best way to go too. Not having to pay for water weight is a huge plus. If you feel you need more bio diversity just add some uncured rock to the tank.
Look forward to seeing the aquascape. Both types look great.

 

Yes....I get lots of compliments on my rock....I had started the tank with some really crappy rock from Reefer madness....I then added the reffer rocks to the top of the old....worked out very well.

The rock i used to have in my tank was all reefer rocks. It was really awesome rock, I wish capt. jer was still open for business. When I setup the next tank I'd be looking at getting some more from him.

Here's a couple pictures of the stuff I used to have:

 

If everything goes as planned, I'm going to be in the market for some additional rock when I go with the bigger tank.  Unless I get the opportunity to buy rock from someone, I'm planning on going with dry.            I'm interested in more of a "shelf" rock since my plan it to aquascape into more of a pillar style.  You have posted  pictures of two of the types of dry rock that I would be considering.  It appears to me that the marco rock is less dense and lighter.  I am going to be drilling the rock and using fiberglass rods to hopefully achieve the look I'm after and for stability.  You have both kinds of rock, what do you think for me, Marco?  What was your overall experience with the two venders?  I've heard that communication with marco rocks can be poor. 

And where are your pics??   lol     Don't you know you have a eager audience Anna??  (hint, hint)
