Question...

I’ve always used regular live rock to start a tank. I’ll be setting up a new system in my house and need about 600lbs or so. I was thinking about using Marco Rocks and adding live bacteria.

I know there are lots of tank start up products like Turbo Start, etc. Has any used these and which is the best one, in your opinion? Curious which brands people have been successful with.

Thanks!
