Who has dry rock in stock?

EnderG60 · 03/31/2019, 07:18 AM

Im trying to order some dry rock for a new system that wont leach phosphates but marco rocks only lets me add stuff to the wishlist and reefcleaners is all out of stock.

BRS seems to have marco rock, but its twice the price.

Anyone know where I can get some good dry rock?

Amazon/ebay often have it..

Amazon I picked up 40lbs of Marco dry rock for $92 with free shipping, I got 3 big pieces and 4 medium pieces.

I believe Marco Rocks went wholesale only which sucks.

I always get mine from Amazon. Just picked up 40lbs and have never had any issues with rock I've picked up in the past.

If you were closer, I'd tell you to drop by. I've got at least #200 in a corner of my yard.

How much do you need

EnderG60 · 04/12/2019, 12:35 PM

OK, BRS sells for $2.99/lb. When did Marco Rock ever sell for $1.50/lb?
Unique Corals also sells 50 lbs for $149.

I just picked so up at amazon nice big pieces

EnderG60 · 04/16/2019, 09:14 AM

I ended up getting 250lbs of Caribsea Moani Dry Live Rock from liveaquaria, they were having a sale 50lbs for $119 shipped. Im going to pressure wash them, Im Debating if they need a bleach or acid bath before I start curing them.

I basically want to insure no unwanted life on them and no phosphate leaching when they start the new system.

Id love to still find some large shelf pieces, but if need be I can make them.
