EcoRock Premium?

Eye H8 Empty V · Jan 3, 2020

So I’m shopping rock and came across something called EcoRock Premium. I was originally going to go with Real Reef Rock 2.0 but this is significantly less expensive and looks comparable. This is different from the AquaMaxx Eco Rock as it has the purple pigment. I can’t find much info on it though. Does anyone have experience with this rock? It’s supposedly all handmade.

Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure about the brand, but I know some people experience issue with the purple "wearing" off depending upon their binding method.

Thanks AB. I’ll look into that. I’ll see if I can get more info from the supplier as well and post here.

I just ordered 50lbs of the EcoRock Premium branch rock. I was torn between Real Reef or APurle Reef and found these for a good amount cheaper. I took a chance on it so we shall see the quality when it ends up getting here.

That being said, did you end up ordering any EcoRock and if so what are your thoughts?

So I guess the distributor that I ordered the branch rock from was all out of "EcoRock" so instead they sent me 55 LBs of Real Reef Rock medium sized base pieces. It kindof throws my plans for my scape off but i think i can make due with what i have. At this point id rater get my tank running and cycling so i just used some shelf pieces i had in my live rock bin and came up with this design.

Any impressions or criticisms on this aquascape design? This will be my first official reef tank and i plan on putting my Green Spotted Puffer in here. Hes all acclimated to salt water now so he should be good in a reef tank right?
