Why don't you get some base rock and get another local reffer to put it in his/her tank for 30 to 60 days. Then you will have some live rock, no shipping, and maybe be able to trade something that they may want locally.

well I could get soem LR and put it in my tank.. but I dont want to spend 4.00a lb on it.. this is why I am looking for inexpensive LR or BR.. I dont care Ijust want some nice rock

If your handle means what I think it does, I'll trade ya your car for as much liverock as I can get my hands on..

 

[turboTSI]

TSI as in Conquest.. not Talon.. and no its not for trade

Ahh.. ;-(

Okies..

Anyway, BaseRock is a good alternative.. LiveRock here is 5.99 a lb, but they sell the baserock for 1.99 a lb.. Something I don't understand, cause in a few months, it'd be LR anyway.. I'm going to be migrating things to a bigger tank, and may have some LR available in about a month, if your still needing some.

I'll check back after we get our tank setup, and any extra that I have is yours for the picking.


Thanks.

Well my suggestion is the cheapest way into lr. All you have to do is find someone willing to place your rock into their sump (or main) for a little while. You will have live rock at a base rock price. Then as you can better afford it get a little lr from liverocks.com so that you have some coraline algae to spread to your other rock.

Just how big is your tank? If all your needing is 10 lbs. then shop around at your lfs for some base rock, be picky, get some very nice rock and then if you can't get someone to place it in their tank, maybe the lfs will place it in thier tank for a small fee.

I would like abotu 30lbs.. thus why I want some for cheep just pieces u guys have u either dont like or could sell or what ever

as for the base rock I have looked into it and as for cost

LR 6-9 a lb
Base 3-6 a lb

I know it can get expensive here thus why I am trying to shop online from other members poss get a better deal

Here ya go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20757&item=4344624552&rd=1

That's less than a buck a lb right now, before shipping. I have ordered from these folks more than once and their stuff is great. As a matter of fact I'm going to get some more for my 46 gal. 8)

Shipping would only be 39 bux to your location. They also have a web site, www. hirocks.com, I'm sure they have a 30 lb box for sale but most of the time you get a better price on auction.

I have 25 lbs of live rock im looking to get rid of I will let it go for $60 im in NY. $2.40 a lb aint too bad.

 

[turboTSI]

Watch out for the HIRocks.com E-bay auctions. I was bidding (two different occasions) on some BR and the auctions went higher than what you could buy straight from their website.

True,

But this can also be said of anything on ebay. you just have to watch the bidding and make sure you don't spend over what you can buy it else where for.

 

[got bait?]

tru. You're right, my message sounded like I was bagging on HiRocks, but noted I was not. In fact, their customer service is quite a helpful bunch of people.

 

[dralarms]

Neber thought you were putting them down. As a matter of fact I agree, you have to watch ALL ebay auctions. When price is concerned it's "bidder beware"
