where to buy live rock??

[skinz78]

Hi I am setting up a 75 gallon tank and I have been checking out live rock supplyers and I like what I see from dr fosters and smith and also ocean pro aquatics. has anyone bought from them before and was it a good expierience? I am also open to any other recommended supplyers
thanks, chris

No matter what online vendor you purchase from, it just depends on what they recently received from overseas and happen to have in stock at the moment. In other words........ and regardless of all the pretty online pics and claims, it's pretty much a crapshoot.

see if any one local is breaking down their tank and selling the LR this way you avoid the long cycle time and it may be cheaper. I picked my rock up from locals, the most I paid per pound was 2.50
