Maricultured MarcoRock

[ReeferSpot]

Biggest Scam in the hobby. $110 for a single piece of marco rock thats been sitting in a vat outside.

I got 4 pieces of rock totalling 5lbs. The rock has been sitting in the ocean, not a vat outside.

No , literally from a vat outside.

Idk man the dude running the Marco Rocks live rock operation did an interview with Greg Carroll very recently and he specifically said they’re working with a person who has a permitted lease in the gulf and they’re partnered with them. I think they’ve been in the ocean.

Still…..I’m glad I bought Aussie rock instead.

Ok, I guess we'll just ignore what is on the video .

Well then he STRAIGHT UP lied to Greg Caroll on a livestream. I just watched the video like a week ago when I was trying to decide on what rock I wanted. I ended up buying all Aussie rock. So I don’t really care.

But I just watched the WWC video and you are right my bad. They do appear to align with what you’re claiming

MarcoRock is one of our favorite dry reef rocks. We love its shapes, porosity, and ease of stacking. But we love live rock too for its diversity, so when we heard that you can get Live MarcoRock – dry…

No, literally from the ocean to a vat. Whatever helps you sleep at night though.

Did you find any critters , aptasia or bubble algae.

Funny, I found my first aptasia last week. Not sure if I came from the rock or the frags that I have added. Bubble algae is growing on one of the frags plugs now also.

I had some softies growing on a couple of rocks when I received it but they did not survive.

My rocks arrived late so the critters died.

My 20 lbs of MarcoRocks Live Rock came in earlier this week, and I’ve got to say, I’m impressed. It’s way better than the live rock I used to get decades ago (or at least that I could afford back then). I ended up with four decent-sized pieces, including a shelf piece. You can definitely tell it’s live rock—there’s life on it, and it smelled clean and fresh. I thought I might have to deal with some die-off, but nope! There were even some hitchhikers: a serpent starfish, a crab, worms, and an anemone. I put everything in the tank except the anemone, which I kept in an observation box just to be safe. Here are a few pics of the unboxing and the rocks. I put three pieces in my 2-year-old tank and one in my 6-month-old setup.
