best LFS in San Jose for live rock

[Nolbi-Wan]

what lfs in san jose has the best selection of live rock? I need about 12-15 lbs. Since its for a 12 gallon i would prefer smaller sized rock. Any help is appreciated. thanks

[rleechb]

Amazon off of Camden has LR for 6.99 a lb, not great, but they have 20 percent off right now. LR is 4.99 (plus 20% off) there if you buy more than 35 lbs or something like that, as well.

AG in Milpitas has a lot of rocks to choose from.

I like dolphin

[Nolbi-Wan]

any idea on how much AG and DPV charge per/lb of live rock?

[Mrseptember15]

Amazon doesn't have great L.R doesn't have much color. The L.R in there tanks is really goood tho. I wish it was for sale :-(

[Ti]

What about this live rock?

brians is right down the street from my place. everytime i stop by the rock selection looks pretty slim. Ill check them out tommorow and see what they have.

PS..thanks for all of your guys help.

You live where Davis is? The rock is really filthy though.

[Nolbi-Wan]

[Mrseptember15]

OOoo I never seen Davis, i've always heard of it and know where it is but I have never seen it passing Branham from Monterey.

LOL. Yes...Yes I do. I know that close to david theres "The Hump" that they either took out or It doesn't do what it used to do, (and no it didnt hump me). :rolleye1: . Yeah I live about 3-5 minutes from there.;) Were you at Brians today? All I saw was this fat guy who wanted to get feeder goldfish. So quite in there and its hot. They need air conditioning:mad:

[dwarfatize]

If you are interested I have some LR that I will sell you for $2 lbs. I think that you will only need a few poinds of it to fill your tank though.

[Mrseptember15]

Danville is flippin' far, are you willing to ship?

haha..i have no idea what you are talkin bout but OK..haha. i was at brians briefly but didnt see anyone else when i was there.

Did the short white guy that looked high help you or the one with the piercings? I believe Brian is there until 5. The hump is that little hill in the middle of the road that goes down really fast and makes that weird feeling in your stomach. I think they leveled it out though. But it was such a fun place to ride on.

[rleechb]

btw, King Aquarium has fully cured fiji for 5/lb. I just picked up 10 lbs yesterday.

[Elite]

rleechb,
I hope you check the rock carefully. They have FW in their tanks. Did you get from the big bin or the small tank?

[rleechb]

NoOooooO!!! That's probably where my fw's came from in the first place, argh.


The small tank, not the big bin.


Thankfully the rock's going into a biocube I just setup, not my display tank. I'll have to go pick up some FWE. =(


Thanks Phong

I have FWE if you need some :D .. I still need to come to your house to pick up the container. So busy with the holiday stuff :( ..

[Mrseptember15]

No worries. It's just sitting out on the porch collecting a little bit of dust, so you'll have to give it a good rinse =D.

I'll take a few drops from you when you swing on by. It's a little 14 gallon nano, so it shouldn't take much. Thanks man

Ray,
I will bring you a bottle when I come. Hopefully I find some free time this week.

[rleechb]

Sounds good. No rush though; it's not going anywhere. =D
