I would reccomend Liverocks.com.. It will cost a bit less than any [acronym:7b11305fe8="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:7b11305fe8] that you find locally and is 100x better.. Most [acronym:7b11305fe8="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:7b11305fe8] locally goes for about 5-7.00per lb Soutas Saltwater has a very nice selection as well as Seahorse Aquarium.... If it were me personally I would go with Liverocks.com and have it shipped.. It costed me like 175.10 to have 40#s shipped.. I thought the shipping was going to be much more until I found out... check with Mike over at Liverocks.com prior to purchasing locally.. you will be much happier.. If your interested in seeing their [acronym:7b11305fe8="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:7b11305fe8] in person you are more than welcome to come over and check out my tank..

Since I have a pretty small tank and already have 30lbs of base rock I was hoping to find 2 specifically shaped pieces that would fit well in the tank.
Have you been to the place in Lake Oswego(http://www.ecorals.tv)? |

Yes I have.. Its actually Waves Marine.. Very Elaborate setup that they have there.. I have not looked at the [acronym:cf55c54c24="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:cf55c54c24] that they have there but I have gone in there to get a few things.. I got a cleaner shrimp that died the same day and I also got a Blastomussa [acronym:cf55c54c24="Broken or cut pieces of coral which will eventually grow into a new animal"]frag[/acronym:cf55c54c24] that has been doing great since I got it.. My personal opinion you would have the best choice at Soutas Saltwater.. They have a very large holding tank and they seem to stock a majority of it at all times.. I believe they are open today.. However I am sure that if you called up Mike at Liverocks.com and inquired about what kind of pieces that you were looking for I am almost positive he could help you out in getting a piece that pretty closely matches what you are looking for...

Upscales in Tualatin has live rock, pretty pricey for what you get.
 Next time I will get my rock from Liverocks.com which seems to be the where the majority of folks on this site get their rock from and from what I have read, all seem very happy with it. |

I have bought live rock from A-z and The Wet Spot Tropical Fish in portland and Pet Gallery in vancouver off mill plain. I liked the rock from a-z the best. It had alot of purple coraline algae and other good growth.
