Live Rock

[Tetra1]

What is the best place to purchase live rock. I already got my sand so am good on that and I already have my salt. Any ideas? Also, what type live rock is the best? I know that there are several out there. Let me know, thanks.

Kat:question:

There are several online places if you are getting it all at once. Or go to the LFS and get pieces that you like.

You can also buy dry base rock and seed it with acouple pieces of live rock.

You want to get 1-2 pounds of LR per gallon.

What is LFS stand for? What would you suggest rock wise? Sorry I do not know all of the abbreviations yet?

+1 BJ, look at Live Rock - Tampa Bay Saltwater Aquacultured Live Rock or Aquarium Fish: Tropical Freshwater Fish and Saltwater Fish for Home Aquariums for live rock. You you could buy mostly dry rock from somewhere like Marco Rocks The finest aquarium rock available, base rock, live rock, reef rock, marco rock, reef tank saltwater fish, live corals, Marco rocks, Fiji live rock, Tonga Live rock and add a couple pounds of live rock from your LFS to seed it

LFS= local fish store

LFS is local fish store. You can buy any size, and if it ends up being too big for what you want/need you can always break it apart into smaller pieces

I will probably be ordering online as our local stores are pretty limited on saltwater aquarium products. Damn I miss living in Florida, everything was always right there. Anyway, thanks for all the help.

Yeah, Drs. F & S (Pet Supplies | Dog & Cat Supplies, Pet Meds | DrsFosterSmith.com Pet Products) has flat-rate shipping for heavy stuff like live rock. If you buy the kind on sale, you can get it really cheap.

I like Fiji live rock, and I have a mix of Tonga, Fiji and Caribbean in my tank.
