Eric Alvarado Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 About to replace my new 55g witha 125G. Where is the best place to grab dry rock? Are there any local resources? I just find paying $6-8 lb for live rock borderline highway robbery. I've purchased Marco rocks in the past, but haven't done a lot of reseach to see if there is a better deal out there. I wish large amount of GHA on anyone who says "outside." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've been using a mix of limestone flagstone with honeycomb rock forever and usually use less than the same weight of live rock. I started using flagstone pieces to create more open rock work so I can see fish and they still feel safe having overhangs swim under.

+mcallahan Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 contact prof on the board. He has tons (literally) of dead rock you can pick and choose from. 98% of the rock in my tanks came from him. I think he gets $3/lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
