I would use gulf rock again just wouldn’t be my first choice. KP has great stuff too. I never got aiptasia on my gulf rock, you’re confusing me with someone else. I don’t know what relevance how long you’ve been on the forum has. You accuse people of being fanboys when you’re fanboying hard for GLR. :p
I like KP!!! :cool:

In my eyes all 3 vendors are solid with their own plus and minus for each.

Like I said I have no stake in any of them. Just calling it how I see it across the board realisticly. Until I see better more diverse rock chock full of life from any of them. I dont want to hear any of them have better rock than the gulf. I wouldnt have cared but I see the hate and fanboying and its kinda embarrassing honestly.

So far from what I've gathered is glr has the best prices and availability of package sizes at the moment. Tbs and Kpa don't even have any in stock at the moment lol. Kinda makes my decision easier i guess. Are these the big 3 or is there any other places to compare?

There is no other with better rock ive been searching for it for too long. Especially researching the rock other vendors sell when fanboys come on board throwing hate at gulf live rock.

Gulf live rock is best rock hands down.
Prove me wrong.
I'm back on the original intention again haha

If you still have it ill take it:)
I wish that was years ago in my old biocube and those contents are long gone. I have a 65 now that I started with dry rock. What a mistake that was. I have a 120 build and I'm transferring all my contents but I want some live rock to add to the scape so I need to get something soon to start curing it before the transfer. Anybody on the fence about dry vs live just go with live. I had much less problems with the hitchhikers vs trying to establish painted rock. My rock now is covered in coraline and what not but it was a pain in the a** to get it to this point. 20211127_163546.jpg

Standalone $9 per pound. Cheaper if you’re buying “the package”
Think I seen gulf live rock deals at close to $2dollars or less per pound when buying in bulk. Not sure about now but either way I'd pay that money up front for legit ocean rock reef tank all day long.
All im running with my girl rock is-
Skimmer;) Not even sure if I really need it but gives me peace of mind lol

I never had nutrient issues with my live rock tanks in the past. This dry rock tank bounced all over the place and even bottomed out and I got dinos at one point. Never ever seen dinos with my live rock tanks.
