Where to buy Dry Rock

[James Wiley]

Is there a local shop that sells dry rock? I’m setting up a new tank and would prefer to buy local. Thanks in advance for the help!

Both River City, (512) 219-7200 and Aquadome, (512) 442-1400, should at least have some limestone.  I use a lot of local holey rock in my tanks along with some quality maricultured live rock.   I would encourage you to use at least some wild or maricultured live rock.  Besides beneficial microbial stuff that can't be culture you also get cryptic sponges that remove both hydrophillic as well as hydrophobic stuff that promotes pathogenic shifts in the coral microbiome/holobiont.  I would only get it airshipped to minimize dieoff and then quarintine it liek anything else you'd get for your reef system.
