Live Rock Question??

[Pike614]

Hello again!
I am looking to buy LR from Fosters and am deciding between the Caribbean Live rock($2.50/lb), Drs. Foster & Smith Select Lalo Live Rock($4.00/lb), and Drs. Foster & Smith Select
Fiji Premium Live Rock (about $3.00/lb). Has anyone ordered these? Any comments on them? I like the look of the caribbean LR, but it seems fiji is more popular. I'll need about 80lbs.
Thanks!

I picked up a 45lb. box of the Caribbean (hatian) Live rock from etropicals.com back in early 05' I am happy with the rock i got, it light weight rock and some nice looking pieces that you don't find with the fiji rock. I just recently ordered another box (30lb) of the caribbean live rock from http://www.intmarinefish.com/liverock.html
and was again happy with my rocks, with this place I could email them and pick what rock sizes I would like and they followed my request perfect. I have a small mix of fiji in with my caribbean and like the look

I HIGHLY suggest you read the Foster and Smith page on here and see what a lot of people had to say about their liverock - especially the Lalo...

We just received 30lbs lalo from DFS. LUV IT! It's got some really neat stuff on it, and beautiful greens, oranges and pinks. Nice coraline algea. I'm really excited to see how it turns out after it's done cycling.

Hope these pics work, sorry for poor quality of the camera phone:
