Dry Marco Rock. This way I seed it with critters, pods, sponges ect...I want, and not have to get rid of what I dont want. Plenty of stuff comes in on clean up crews, clams and corals.

IMO, at least for a bigger sized tank, size and shape may ultimately beat out creatures on it, but when I set up my tank using wild Florida live rock from TBS (when it was still available) it was an incredible treasure hunt finding all sorts of cool things in each box. I’m not sure if there’s any way to get that any more.

I prefer all live rock and when i set up my reef tank i ordered 75 lbs of live rock from a company out of Florida and 50 lbs of that man made rock from ebay. All n all it worked out fine and the live rock had all kinds of goodies growing on it which i believe helped my tank mature faster.
