i got 100lbs of pukani and 50lbs of fiji from bulk reef supply. They gave some some amazing and very large pieces. The Pukani is so much lighter than the fiji. Even a huge piece weighs much less than expected. Very nice rock

I have used marco dry rock in the past with good results. But the pics of dry pukani sure does look good.

I've used rock from Marco and Reefcleaners. No complaints either way and I still have some marco in the box for the next upgrade.

I went with 150lbs of Marc Rocks and was extremely happy. Some very large pieces, some smaller pieces, and some rubble for my refugium. Very light and porous rock with tons of small holes perfect for plugs.

Best "bang for your buck" is DIY Man Made Rock.

I've bought Figi, Marcorock and Pukani. The Pukani is so much lighter by volume as well as just being beautiful rock with tons of character. I would buy the Pukani again. I think because of how light it is it makes it a great value.o

I went with Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Black Beach Reef Sand I like the look of it and my clown fish have a hard time to kick it up and no more sand storm

I bought 75lbs of pukani for my 110 build, and I will only use a fraction of it, probably half of it, maybe slightly more. Its very light

I used 150lbs of Marco rock and love it. Very porous and a good variety of sizes as well.

I got 150lbs of BRS Eco rock for my 125. I probably have 40-50lbs left over. Its not as porous as Pulkani, but its pretty nice. Im happy with it + you dont have to cook it.

U might want to consider just buying used liverock from somebody breaking down their tank.
