After much research, I decided to purchase 100lbs of rock from A Purple Reef. My tank is a shallow peninsula, and I wanted something different for this build. I was able to incorporate the branch rock into some pretty cool structures that I think turned out great.
The rock arrived within three days, was very well packaged and already has that mature reef look that everyone wants. I used an entire tube of Jurassic Gel as well as a stick of epoxy and some fiberglass rods. It fits together very well with most of the pieces being softball to grapefruit sized with some larger pieces mixed in. Per the owner (Chris) all of the rock is cured in his system prior to being shipped. Being a manmade rock, closer inspection reveals no nasty critters or nuisance algae waiting to wipe out a system. It feels good knowing that my tank is starting off on the right foot.
Enjoy the pics. Check me out on Instagram at eg_reef
