Caribbean Live Rock?

[Trex420]

Has anyone ever seen or had any experience with this type? Caribbean Live Rock. It seems fairly cost effective. I was hoping for a very porous rock of some sort. I usually go with Fiji but this is a little cheaper and advertised as the least dense rock and most porous rock they have.

Tom,

I've got 100lbs of Caribbean and 30lbs of Tonga, the biggest difference I noticed was the cost; Caribbean was half. I went w/Int. Marine Fish and shipping next-day air to DIA was free and it was still $3.15 a lb. The Tonga is nice, I've got a head of broccoli but the Caribbean looks and weighs similar. I can't tell the other pieces apart.

I've looked at Fiji at a few places here in the springs and it weighs about the same as C. and from what I've seen, the Fiji here comes in one shape only. Anyway, I was thinking of another 100lbs from them but somebody in here mentioned 45-50lb boxes from Mr Aqua for $130. I may be making the drive up North.

Just an FYI
I called Mr Aqua and they informed me, in almost unintelligible English, that they don't sell boxes. Cured Fiji is $5.99/ # and Tonga is $7.99/ #.

I had ordered from the from a place online, which I'm not going to mention here, that sold me hand picked Tonga for $2.99 and hand picked Marshall for $3.99/ # in May 2005. I checked their site the other day and now both Marshall and Tonga is $7.99. I couldn't believe how much LR price seems to have gone up. Anyone know of a good online store? Still considering the Carb but it still isn't that cheap, $3.53/# with shipping for a 60# box.
