live rock

[fraser]

Anyone know where to get really cheep live rock I have found some for 4 $ a pound and I know that is cheap but if anyone knows someone just looking to get it gone let me know

Looking to start cycling some so I can eventually start a 90 gallon with a sump

$4 is on the expensive side.  About $3-$3.50/lb should be easy to find.  Doesn't sound like a big difference, but it starts to add up!

4$ a lb isnt cheap

3$ used to be the going rate for 'used' liverock, but i know for my last batches ive had to do 2.50 or id never sell it..

'new' marco rock is only 2.99 per lb i believe

Not really no, unless there's some on kijij, but the stores in London carry some, give them a call

Just don't buy from a store, then you won't have to pay those crazy prices

Sometimes i trust a store more than a random joe tho... id rather get it from a reputable dealer thats keeping it in the right water, and not tap water and filling if full of phosphates and crap. Know what i mean? Sometimes the extra bit saves u headaches and time in battlimg algae problems...thats my outlook on it atleasst lol

Paying for the piece of mind i guess.  Though most of the rock I've seen for sale comes from established systems that have been running for years.  Rather low risk i would think.

Don't add straight to system? Just put in container with heater and powerhead, see what comes out of rock.

You trust a store eh, well I know for a fact that some stores use Tap water because it's cheap and the rock isn't gonna be there long term.

A reputable dealer
