Liferock Online?

rgonzalez · 12/10/2009, 05:12 PM

Does anyone buy live rock online? I don't mean like Petsolutions, but the other sites that pop up when you Google "purchase live rock."

My LFS has a pretty bad supply, so I'm looking for other options.

Oh, and I live in San Fran - so if anyone knows of a good place, please let me know.

Im sure you can find a good source for LR in SF. You may be able to find some to get from a local reefer. i like ocean treasures on duboce, but i dont even know if its still there.

Look through the tampabaysaltwater forum under the sponsor section.
LOTS of happy customers.
I'll be placing my order soon.

I'm not sure TBSW would be down my alley. I admit, they have some cool, cool rock. But I'm more of a clean, I know what I put in my tank kind of guy. Their rock is straight from the ocean w/ tons of hitchhikers & macro algae. It's a great bargain what you get from them, but I'm after more a clean look.

I got some of mine on Ebay from a seller by the name of bigfish760. Way better than expected! Very porous and lots of different shapes and sizes. Not the boring, boulder type crap some places sell.

I would just buy a few peices of live rock and then get some eco-rox to finish it up,IMO that stuff is awsome and cheap you can get it from bulk reef suppy. google it ;-)
