    Ok so I have done some research and I know I am going to start with dry rock for my 90gal tank. So here is what I would like to know.

    Marco Rocks
    BRS Reef Saver or
    Reef Cleaners Florida Reef

    Who has used them, and what was your experience?
    If you were starting new today and going dry which one would you use?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    All 3 are reputable companies with Reefcleaners and macro rocks being the mostly used for buying dry rock.

    You will get mixed responses on this question.
    Some love reefcleaners some love macro. BRS is used more often for other dry goods.

    I used BRS pukani rock when it was on sale. With only 60lbs filled my 90 with some nice pieces.

    I went with Reefcleaners for my 30 gallon cube base rock. Would do it again 100X. John of RC's is the man. He will answer any of your questions promptly and accurately.

    I have nothing bad to say of the other two vendors - just sharing my experience with RC!

    I went with reefcleaners and their customer service is top notch. John is an amazing guy. I have also got a clean up crew from RC as well.

    I should also add about RCs that John will do his best to pick the size rocks you specify.

    This way if you are building a larger or smaller scape you can scale your rocks appropriately!

    That is true I requested different sized rocks for my scape and he delivered.

    I'd go with reefcleaners again, without a doubt.

    John treated me so well, I almost feel like I'd be cheating on him going someplace else! :D

    Reefcleaners, as said he will pick the right pieces for you, John is great to work with.
