RRR - Reef Rock Recommendations

tfrechette · 10/20/2012, 10:24 AM

Starting my third build a 60 gallon cube.

Last time I built I remember buying some rock on-line that sold shelf rock and I thought the service from the place was real good. But can't remember the name of the company. They offered to hand pick the whole layout.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Cheers,

Tom

i would go with Bulkreefsupply.com unless you're looking for live rock.

could take a look at the cherry scapes from marco rock (marcorocks.com)

I know I bought some rock from Marco and I like the idea of WYSIWYG. I was thinking there was another company who would hand pick a complete layout for you. Do you know if Marco offers that service?

I've bought other things from BRS but it wasn't rock.

Has anyone tried the Marco Rock mortar and nylon rods? In previous tanks I've just put rock on rock and in some places used the coral putty where things didn't feel stable.

At the time I ordered from marco they had a special instructions type thing when you ordered, asking for your tank size and special requests. I ordered for my acrylic tank, and noted in the special requests the size of the holes at the top of the tank... I'm pretty sure they took note of that, because there wasn't a single piece in the box that I had to break in order to fit it, even though there were some in there that when I opened the box I thought were not going to fit.
The have a sponsor forum here http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=602 could be worth asking there....

Hands down I would order again from reefrocks.net
EXCELLENT/BEAUTIFUL dry rock.. Plus you get 40 lbs of sand for like 15 bucks with every 25 lbs of rock you order..

Tell him exactly what you want and you shall receive..
