[murph213]

Hi All! I am looking to buy some colorful live rock ~ 25-30 lbs.
Does anyone know of a local place to buy,I live in the City of Wilm.
if not any suggestions where I can get some?

Thanks,
Murph

Depends on what you consider local. If you do a search through the DRC threads you'll find a couple of posts about different places to buy LR. Some people say that That Pet Place in Lancaster isn't that bad.

I would say if your setting up a new tank with 30lbs of rock I would buy 20-25 pounds of LR and get 5lbs of really nice rock from Dr. Mac. He has some really nice stuff with very little pests in it.

If you are not in a big hurry East Coast Aquatics in Pa will be selling LR for $1.99 a lb. on the 20th

Live Rock

Thanks everyone for your replies. I have a 55 gallon fowlr with 40 lbs of live rock and just like to add 25-30 more lbs.of corline covered rock to show off my set up.As of now it's been running 5-6 months and water is in check. I saw a place rocknreef that had pics of deco primo rock at 10.00 lbs and it look beautiful, but I'd rather see the real thing in person before I buy.(don't want to be let down). Thanks once again!

As with everything, add slowly. Good luck, and show as pics when you add the rock.
