I am in need of liverock or dried "liverock" to get extra filtration for my 210G tank I am transforming back to saltwater. I have several triggers (babies) now living in my 55G for the time being, so I would like to get the big tank up and running and cure the LR right in the tank if need be. But if I get dry rock, I will need to get it now, so the tank will be ready when these babies grow! I am using "fake" corals, I don't plan to go down that road again, lol, so all I need is some rock, for filtration, caves, ect.
I am ready to buy now, and not looking to ship, so local pickup if not to far away is what I need. I can't afford anything expensive, and need about 100lbs, maybe more. I don't want to overdo it on the tank. But problem is, I just found out my 9 month old dane has hip dysplasia in both hips, and the surgery is $2500 a side. So, no breeding in the future, because this is genetic, and he was guaranteed against it, as his parents were both tested and found to be good-excellent hips. Vet says no guarantees in this disease. Breeder will replace pup, but he is so good, it is impossible for me to let him suffer and know he will surely have to be put down before he is 2 yrs old. He is only 9 months and 135lbs now, and is suppose to be 220lbs. I can't imagine with him having pain now, what it will be at full weight.
So if I had known this, I would have put this tank on hold, but I already bought the triggers, and I know I cannot stop them from outgrowing the 55G tank, and I need to get the other tank ready, which means LR. There are 2 clowns, 2 nigers, 1 Undulated, 1 bursa, and 1 dogface puffer. I don't think they will make it more than a month or so in that small tank, or they will start to fight eventually from being cramped.
Much help in a good price appreciated. Like I said, I have cash and ready to buy for the right price. Nothing fancy, just good 'ol liverock, or base rock.
Thanks
