How long have you had the Pukani being aquacultured?

What kind of price difference between your rock and the Walt Smith?
Available in The Package?

Aquacultured pukani shouldn't leach PO4 anymore than the other types of rock!
If purchased dry, then "curing" it may be a good idea.

Exactly.....should be a real good candidate for aquaculture, being light weight and porous. I have used all types of substrate for aquaculture over the years, and always have amazing results when real coral rock is used. It is what occurs naturally in the ocean, and all of the coral spat and other organisms settle out on it and grow the fastest. This rock is what I have on the lease now, by far the best growing and best looking rock I have ever used....

it is coral rock from the Philippines....so the pukani should grow just as well or better, can't wait to get it offshore and growing!

When purchasing "The Package", would the Pukani be available as a substitute for the standard live rock that comes in "The Package"?
