Advice on dry rock needed

[AquaDan]

I'm approaching the aquascaping phase of my project and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts on the best dry rock is.

I've looked at reefrocks.net, marcos rocks, and bulf reef supply. They all seem like nice products. I'm looking to purchase 100Lbs. I plan on using 25lbs of live rock to seed the tank.

What are your preferences and why?

Thanks!

Bulk reef supply! They have a great variety and service and no b.s. The florida rock may not need to be cured but the other types do! I recently bought the shelf rock and 1 day after putting it in water, the water looked like tea. The rock itself is amazing!!

Thanks for the reply Kendall. I like BRS a lot myself but the rock is a bit pricey compared to others i've looked at. Not sure what the difference is in terms of quality though.

Thanks Tony. I'm leaning towards them. If i'm not mistaken I think thirty5 bought rock from them.

I'm liking what I see on reef rocks. Leaning towards them but I wanna shop around a bit.

How many pounds of live rock would you suggest to seed the tank? I'm setting up a 125 gallon.

I brought 150 lb of
Dry rock for my 150 gallon tank. It turn out I have a lot of extra rocks like 60 lb. Dry rocks are much lighter so take that into consideration how much you need.

Marcorocks is good, packaged very well and you can even request the sizes of rock you want at no additional charge.

Thanks. I decided to go with reefrocks. Does anyone know what the turn around time is for delivery to NJ? I placed my order last Sunday.
