    I am upgrading from a 50 gallon cube to a 75 gallon drilled tank. I already have about 70lbs of LR in my DT. I figure I will need atleast 50 more lbs of dry rock. Where is a good place to buy dry rock online? I also want the rock to arrive with an assortment of shapes and sizes as well as very porous. Some can be base rock, but i want a lot of it to be nice display pieces that look natural. If that makes sense.

    I prefer bulkreefsupply.com, great product and you can pick between all sorts of types. I had a bad experience with marco rocks, I wouldn't buy from them again.

    All three listed are very good places to get it from. I comes down to price vs looks now.

    Personally, I would splurge for the Pukani. Very light and porous.

    I will also add reefcleaners.org to the list to look at. Great rock at very good prices.

    I saw reef cleaners but I didn't like the look.

    I have reefcleaners rock, though I see above that you don't like it, but I think it looks great in my tank! Also heard great things about, and personally really like, rock at marcorocks and bulkreefsupply.
