Chance,
You had 3 different threads all titled "rock" so I've merged them into one thread.
You'll generally find that you'll get better responses if you keep the same/similar posts all in one thread.

was the fiji rock good?

Fiji rock is typically the "standard" live rock. The export of live rock from Fiji is a major business operation.
When you set up your tank you can go with different kinds of rock. In fact, I believe that can really be beneficial as it adds a variety of critters into your tank. The shapes often vary as well, which makes aquascaping your tank easier.
I ordered rock from this site and was pleased.

do you get to pick the shapes of the rock?

 

[michaeltx]

no thats the disadvantage of ordering offline but IMO it well worth it!!!

It's rock... to me part of the fun is having a lot of shapes and putting them together into something I like. In a small tank, like a nano, where you are only getting to use 1 or 2 small rocks shape can be important. When you start stacking it in a larger tank though you can work with the shapes you get.

i was very pleased when i bought live rock from this site, they gave me 2 big peices and 7 small peices, but i only bought 25 pounds of it. My bicolor blenny loves it because there are lots of holes in the rock. also i have lots of little feater dusters on my rocks too.

I paid $16 lb in Virginia for Tonga rock. There were some really nice pieces at the LFS. I was looking for some specific shapes and was willing to pay the price to get them. I wanted to mix different types of rock, so I mixed Tonga, Marshall and Fiji.
Buying bulk Fiji from Saltwaterfish.com is a great way to get some really nice rock at a super price. Even with processing and fuel fees, it cost half of what I paid at LFS.
