Interesting - I hadn't thought about that aspect of it... Nothing is ever cut and dried, it seems. Thanks, and I certainly appreciate any other feedback people have.

Thanks! I am located in DC, so can make it out to a lot of the Virginia or Maryland vendors. I haven't seen aquacultured rock at the few I've been too, but will double check, and certainly appreciate you pointing me in the right direction if you can. Thanks!

I am planning to start a new 34 gallon reef tank, and wonder if anyone here has tried using aquacultured live rock. A quick google shows there are at least a few suppliers in Florida. Is the product good? How does it compare with "wild" live rock from the Pacific? I'd like to use as much aquacultured livestock as possible in my tank. Many thanks!
