Best liverock local or mail-order?

[prugs]

I could use some help getting some good liverock. I don't want to pay too much, but I realize that it's not cheap. I'm looking to get about 200lbs. Any suggestions?

Thanks Tom

Premium Aquatics has great stuff. Their fiji is not the ordinary boulders it is very similar to Marshall Island in shape. Went in December to pick this stuff out for a buddies tank. I saw the rock in person and we got to pick it out. It is only a 3 hour drive from Chicago and you save on the shipping cost and get pieces you really want and can use.

If you keep an eye out, you can find loads of coraline covered rock right here.

I agree with mbunaman about PA. Although with the price of gas shipping UPS is probably cheaper since ground is overnight anyways.

Buy it online and have it freighted to Midway. It is far cheaper that way. What sort of rock do you want?

I personally like the Pukiani rock. It has great shapes, its light, and looks great.

I'd either get it from another local reefer or order it. Any LFS will gouge you good for the stuff!
