AMAZING dry rock now available for your tank!

For the last twenty years Tampa Bay saltwater has been the source for the highest quality aquacultured live rock in the industry.

I am now offering the most AMAZING rock available for your reef tank, in it's dry pre-aquacultured state!

Of course I still offer the finest quality aquacultured live rock, but
now you can use at home what I use in the Gulf of Mexico, and grow your own live rock if you want too!

This rock is incredibly porous, full of holes, nooks and crannies. I have been all over the world searching for the perfect aquaculture candidate and THIS IS IT!

This is real coral rock, the perfect host for marine organisms in your tank. This rock will mature very quickly as it is the substrate that the marine organisms and corals are looking for when they are looking for a "host" home.

This rock can be shipped very economically, as it is dry rock and does not require the handling that aquacultured rock does. This can be sent VIA UPS right to your door, and you can culture it in your own aquarium.

This rock will blow away anything else you have seen, and at a price you can afford. I am offering it at an introductory price of only

$2.50 a pound, plus shipping.

Below are some pictures of rock that I deployed in the gulf 05/05/09.

Look how well this rock stacks for aquascaping your tank!

Holes for your fish to swim through!

Can you ship dry rock to Canada?

Sure can, this rock has it's own special US Customs description as the rock was submitted to them, analyzed and classified by the US Government.

This is not considered coral, as ALL other rock is that is in the Industry. So very easy to ship without any customs, or US Fish and Wildlife permit.

Also I have shipped aquacultured rock to Canada, VIA a US airport many times.
Nobody has ever encountered any problems at the border, just declare it, pay some tax as the Canadians have there own designation for cultured rock. It is taxed and recognized as 'limestone' by them. Ask here in RC there are a few of your countrymen who have done it.

Richard what's the best way to order from you if I have a specific structure in mind that I'd like to build? Can you take a diagram and match me up with appropriate pieces? I'll need some larger ones and hopefully a few that are sort of ledge-like.

I can send you a quote request for x-number of pounds along with a diagram...

Thanks!

Brett

For the order form do we just put what we want in the Additional comments or questions area? Safe to assume $1/lb for shipping to 14623(thats what I found looking at UPS)

Seriously? I was hoping to deal with someone with a decent selection to choose from =)

Can you quote me 100lbs shipped to T2Y0C4 in Canada please? I'm guessing I will also have to pay customs fees etc on my end?

How much would it be to ship 30# to 23836

Having shipped fed ex priority for years, I am amazed at what the rates are for their home delivery ground service....BIG difference!

30 pounds to 14623, delivered to your door, is only $24.00 in freight charges...

Rates vary by weight , amount of boxes, and size of boxes..so I need to know the exact weight wanted...to have an accurate quote.
I can fit 30 pounds per box.....

Guess I missed the option for Dry rock, thanks.
 
I'm getting a box charge of $16, in the order form, when I enter 30 lbs of dry rock? Is this the shipping cost to 18901? Thanks.
