hirocks.com closed, need some base rock

[TekCat]

I am looking to get some dry/base rock. For some reason I cant access hirocks.com. Do any of you know who also sells highly porous base rock?

Any prices on this stuff?

cr@p, now only Carib-Sea and Florida Live Rock (they are out of stock) sell dry rocks..... not much of a variety

Out of these two vendors who has the most porous rock? Anyone knows?

I got the carib-sea stuff, and it's porous as all get out. Can't speak for the FLR. Only caveat is that most of my base rock from carib were pretty small. Not a huge deal, but made aqua scaping a bit more of a challenge.

I ordered some 'Reef Bones' through my LFS. I specified big pieces. One was easily 24" x 24" and over #40. It wasn't the most porous rock I've ever seen, but the shapes were excellent.
I can't recall pricing. I'm sure pricing fluctuates depending on shipping and availability.
One thing more worth mentioning: my Reef Bone rock had coralline (alive) on it and the rock was still damp.
