Which live rock should I choose?

[semaj]

Hey all,
I am planning on purchasing live rock tomorrow and wanted to know if y'all had an opinion on any of the following:
Fiji
Marshall
Kaelini
I'm only getting a little over 30 lbs. so cost isn't really a problem.
Any advice is appreciated.
THANKS!

I'm a huge fan of Marshall Island myself. It is lighter so you get more rock for the weight.

The more pourous the better. It's not about weight, it's all about surface area.
I like a good mixture. Diversity!

I like fiji it usual comes in good shapes and i like the carribean and the tampa bay area rock too.

marshall island and pukani are the nicest shape and very light,-more bangs for the bucks!!!

You really can't go wrong with any of them. What you need to look for (regardless of the type) is surface space. The more porous the better. I'm partial to Fiji because my LFS always has a great supply of it, and I have no problem finding some great shaped rock.

im with diversity.. as stated before.... if $$ isnt the problem then id choose a little of each.. each rock comes from a different place.. and some have things onthers dont have.. like marshall rocks have the most colorful..(coraline algea ) of all i thinks.. but there are things in each that make each there own best.. just like how people do LS trades.. ( 1 cup of LS from each aquarium).. each aquarium may or maynot have critters and bacteria others have that may be beneficial.... soo... i say go with a little of each...

Well I tried the speargun and let me tell you it did not go well. My whole tank busted and i have saltwater all in my carpet except not really. i ended up putting food in a fish net and waited till he came and got some. It worked like a charm. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll probably have to use them in the near future.
