[ometh]

if you're willing to make the trip you should check out global aquatics by lake houston. he has practically a crate full of liverock

[barberking12]

for what price?

[ometh]

I believe $3 a lbs for the standard rocks, $4 for tonga branches and shelves.

[barberking12]

to far of a drive for that price but thanks for the info

[barberking12]

or dry let me kno what you got

[BiGPiNK]

$3/lb is a fantastic price for a local fish store, most start at 4.99/lb, and to be honest, even if you spy a tank breakdown on CL, you'll be lucky if you can find $2/lb. the dry rock on the other hand, check out marco rocks, or something like that, it's a little cheaper but even good quality dry rock can be fairly expensive. whatever you do though, if its a reef tank, don't skimp, you CAN use holey rock, but that doesn't mean you should, the rock isn't just there for decoration, it actively balances the chemical levels in your water so go for the best you can afford. also, paying for "live" rock is more expensive, but well worth it when you start to see your hitchhikers start to come out of hiding!

thanks but i kno what good prices are and i would spend 20 in gas just to pick it up from those stores and ya if you go to petco its going to be $5 lb
