Ocean Pro Aquatics LR

[saltyESQ]

i bought 25lbs from ocean aquatics, its nice stuff
although I do regret having it shipped fed ex, bc I had to recure and it took almost a month and there were no critters left on it

air frieght is the way to go

Some boxes are better than others, but fresh makes a huge difference, IMO.

TA, I would venture to guess that almost any rock you get shipped air from a wholesaler in LA has got to be better than anything you see at the LFS -- much fresher! And probably cheaper even with freight.

The facility that's open to the public is not too big, just a small this N that section in the front and the holding system in the back consisting of 60 gallon plastic drums plumbed together. It's in an industrial section with a lot of other warehouses. They have a killer show tank there as well

nicchick that rock looks killer!!! It never ceases to amaze me the quality Mike sells, it looks better than any $5/pound rock

I just recieved 50 lbs Fiji and 30 lbs Marshal Island rock (The BEST!!!) from OceanPro....Rock was shipped Air Freight from CA to NY...I was rinsing it off LESS THAN 24 hours after OP got the rock! Called me Thursday and said they JUST got it in...I said send it....I picked it up Friday 6:30 pm (thats 3:30 pm CA time!)...how can I say "No"?

Final cost: ~$3.90 per lb

Trust me, thats not bad for here in NY.

 

[bugsy714]

wow, that's waaaaaaaay cheap for NY!!!!

I'm glad you are happy, now you understand why I go out of my way to recommend OP, they are the best, period!!!

Don't be afraid to spread the word to your locals and other RC members, they always make you looks good

 

[kusanagiz]

wow i wish i knew about this place before I spent all that money on MI rock somewhere else

I'll have to definitely keep this place in mind whenever I move onto a bigger tank.

 

[kentonhq]

bugsy714, thanks for the links.

I dont see they have their rock listed for $1.99/lb? what kind is it for $1.99?

 

[bugsy714]

look on ebay under "fiji live rock" you'll find it

 

[kentonhq]

They have them listed on ebay for 2.25/lb.

 

[JetHead]

It's gone up over the past few weeks. I got mine for $2.10/lb three weeks ago. Get it while the gettin's good!

 

[kentonhq]

how did you get it for 2.10 since it's listed for 2.25?

 

[fishy_mcfish]

the buy it now price has gone up on it. when i got mine it was 1.99 a pound . I guess the demand is getting higher with all the LOVE being spread about Ocean Pros...that or maybe there just adjusting for the ridiculos gas prices!!! Even at 2.25 a pound its a steal!!!
