ordering Live rock

[angelsj247]

I want to order just a small amount of live rock, a couple of pounds, because everyone said just to get some in my tank. But everywhere i look online you ahve to order like 75 pounds. Does anyone know of a site that you can pick how many pounds you want to order?
Thanks

Premiumaquatics.com!!! They state that if you want 1 lb or 56lbs they will ship it. I just ordered from them. Great business!

What type of live rock should i get for a 20 gal tank. I think i heard figi is the best, and im getting it cured, i can just add it to my tank righ away right?
is there anyother test kits i should get besides the normal that i have now, alk rite rate salinity and amonia, and ph?

Or if you have a LFS, you can get it from them - save on shipping. Better yet, if you can find someone tearing down their tank and selling off things

You'll have a cycle no matter what

my lfs sells it for 13$ a pound and i dont think its cured. this site only sells it for 4.50.

I havent ordered from premiumaquatics but you will want to do a mini cure when you recieve it anyways, because of the die off during shipping.
You dont want to add that rock if you have an established tank.

my tank is cycling right now, there is no fish or anything live.. I just order cured live rock online and i should get tomorrow. Can i just stick it in my tank when i get it or am i going to have to spend weeks curing it, even tho it is cured?

I would just put the cured rocks into your tank to help your tank cycle. I think during the tank cycle and shipment, there will be die-off from the rocks. In which case you will need to scrub off the dead matter from your rocks.

Good luck with your tank.
