Best Base Rock?

Marco Rocks emailed me back. They will only ship UPS.

Rocky Mountain Tufa has come up a few times, has anyone actually contacted them about selling direct to a reefer?

I don't find tufa to be porous enough to make good rock.

Double Check they told me United states postal service international is what they used, but either way bulk reef supply and twopartsolutions has eco rox (think i mentioned twopart before)

This is what Marc of Marco rocks replied to me in an email around Dec 18th:

Sorry about that but damage claims with USPS approach 100% so we no longer use them.

Myka who ever suggested making your own had a good idea, lots of people have done it, it's not difficult and to make it more porous you can add 1 part course salt. Some people suggest you add pasta (dry) but I found it was difficult to rinse off, and out. You can cure your rock in the back of a toilet for a few weeks, it works great. I found the cement at Revy for about $60 but that was enough to make a few hundred pounds of rock. Some people use oyster shell in their rock but I just stuck with the aragonite rock and it worked out well for me.
