Dry Rock Purchase

[jeryl]

I am setting up another tank, 40 gallon breeder with 20 long sump. I am looking for dry rock and have narrowed it down to the following: ReefCleaners.org, Tampa Bay Saltwater, or Marco Rocks. Looking for which vendor forum members prefer. The pictures and descriptions of the rock from the vendors seem similar. Does anyone know if the products originate from the same source. Am planning on purchasing 40-50 lbs of dry rock and combining with 20 lbs of rock sitting in my garage, cleaned and dried, from one of my older tanks. Plan to NSW in this tank.

Thanks

Jeryl

Theres someone on craigslist that sells them at a pretty good price. They are in boca i believe. Search for "base rock", or "aquarium rock"

I just got some rock from http://www.reefrocks.net/ he also gives you a deal on sand if you need any.

Thanks for the responses. ReefRock looks interesting. I wonder if it is the same rock/source as the other three. I want to limit my purchase to what I believe are local products. Does anyone in the group have comments on Marco, TBS and/or ReefCleaners.

Thanks

I used Marco for my last 2 tanks, I will use them again the next time I need rock. That pretty much says it all

ReekRock gets his stuff from the same place Marco get theirs. He actually dropped off my rock and sand personally and gave me a pretty good deal.

Marco rocks are great. They are very clean and porous as well as easily stackable.
If you have the chance to go to Reef a palooza in Orlando you can pick them out by hand. I did that at Macna and was very pleased with the results.

I tried to contact ReefRock via E-Mail on their web site yesterda but have not had any response. I am (was) hoping to drive up there this weekend and pick up some rock if that option was available.

You can call Gary at OceanLife Direct, go to his place in Hollywood and hand pic all the pieces you want and is very cheap!

305.300.3733 or email at oceanlifedirect@gmail.com

That's where I got all my rock, about 400lbs worth!

love my Marco Rocks

Does anyone know if the Oceans Direct Florida Limestone Pressure Cleaned Dry Rock is the same rock that is sold by MarcoRocks. Hollywood is an easy drive for me to pick up the rock.
