Anyone have any live rock FS

[jmccown]

I have been putting off getting my 150g going for several months. I need to get on the ball. It is currently up and running but with only a few small fish and a really large piece of live rock in the middle for now. I need probably 75-100lbs to fill the space. Do any of you guys have any or know where I might be able to pick some up? I can't afford to pay LFS prices for rock. There are several tanks shutting down in central Ohio but I can't justify traveling that far with gas prices nowadays. So if there is any local please point me in the right direction. I have my refugium built and running too. So I'll need LR and some better lights and I'm set.

Have you checked out Bulk Reef Supply? They sell some nice looking dry Fiji Rock. I don't consider it base because it does have the nice shapes and is natural ocean rock. Another retailer of similar rock is Marco Rocks but it sounds like he has been getting overwelmed as of recent and not shipping very quickly.

You could try talking to Ron or Barry about getting some boxes and curing it yourself.... They would give you a good deal. I'd call Barry before noon when they place orders. Stuff comes in on tuesdays... so you could be cooking in a week.

"LFS prices" is a pretty broad term IMO as not all LFS sell products at the same prices and that's all I can really say about that.

On a side note though, do you have to have LR? The new CaribSea South Sea base rock is amazing after it colors up, I have put several pounds in my display tank and that stuff is well priced to match or beat any net store sites IMO.

Didn't mean to offend by the term "LFS Prices" I should have said retail prices, lol.

PM'd you Ron.
