My lfs carries if, I don't personally like the look if it. But will probably use it on my next build because of what it a meant to replace :)

I use their rocks and they are awesome! You really don't notice that they are "artificial" but hey, they are helping out our ecosystem!

I've only seen it online never in person. Some pics of it I like others make the rock look really artificial. I'm just having a hard time rapping my head around it after using traditional rock for ten years.

I have a piece in my tank I wish I could have afforded to only use it. It's not as porous as my brs reef saver but it's very large pieces and the coralline is nice and thick.

3 of the 4 rocks in my tank are real reef. I really like it, lots of caves and unique shapes. My anthias will swim through the rock from one end to the other and I can't see a passage through. Initially (and still to some point) my one piece of non real reef rock stuck out like a sore thumb. Almost was glowing. Now that it is picking up some coralline it is starting to match better. I would recommend it.
This pic is probably from a month or two ago:

I do not like the look of it. Even before we started our business we liked live rock best.
