Check out the local reef club forums on Reef Central.

Also, check your local craigs list.

Here is a link to the northeast club forums: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=534

There are several for New York. I'm not sure which one is closest. I would ask your local reefers and also check Craigslist. Seems there's always someone selling rock.

I've found locally that people will initially try to sell thier complete setup, but usually end up parting out thier system when they realize how difficult it is to sell it all at once.


I would just send emails to the people on craigslist saying "If you decide to part out your setup please email me back. I'm looking to purchase about XX ammount of LR"

Posting a WTB thread in your local reef club forums might help too, you never know who's sitting on stuff they forgot they wanted to sell.

Go with a local reef club over Craigslist - you should be able to get better rock w/ less pests.
