Best place to purchase good live rock. - Aquarium Advice

copester · 10-12-2002, 09:04 PM

Setting up a 30 gallon and am looking to you guys for your expertise. There is not a store within 150 miles from me that has live rock, so mail order looks like the way to go. Looking for online recommedations and experiences. Thanks

I have had good luck with LR purchased from www.ffexpress.com

I would suggest you look in the General retailers section for additional experences with other online retailers.

How much rock are you looking at wanting?

I have heard good things about tampa bay saltwater-no first hand experience, but they have a website you can view at tampabaysaltwater.com

Another option for Florida Aquacultured rock is Gulf-View.com. I bought 30lbs from them a few months ago and was very satisfied.
IMHO you should first decide what type of rock,(fijji, Happai, Tonga, Fla. Aquacultured, etc.), you want and then research the retailers that sell the rock you want.
You also should decide what shipping method, air freight or delivered to your door, best suits your needs. Different MO retailers use different shipping methods for their rock.
