Looking for Live Rock

SamMill · 01/27/2010, 10:04 AM

In am in the Clearwater - Largo area and would like some additional live rock for my 90 gallon tank.

bvert38 · 01/27/2010, 11:24 AM

I am around your area and have a couple pieces of dry rock I can sell you for like a dollar a pound.

SamMill · 01/27/2010, 12:55 PM

Thats great I just have three questons: Does it have phosphate, will it come back to life, and where did it come from? (I intend on building my reef)

pawlowjp · 01/27/2010, 01:16 PM

Stpauli914 has a post stating he is selling LR

steelers559792 · 01/27/2010, 01:59 PM

I've got about 40lbs of live rock I would part with for $2 a pound. I live in Rocky Point.

bvert38 · 01/27/2010, 02:38 PM

It came from my old tanks, never had a phosphate issue and yes it will come back to life as long as you have other live rock in the tank.

SamMill · 01/27/2010, 03:40 PM

steelers, sorry your too far but thanks anyway. And bvert I need live rock because my ammonia is a little high. But thanks for the offers guys!

aquapod_noob · 01/27/2010, 04:21 PM

hey Zach thanks for the emails. I forwarded them to john and he is going to look them over and see if they will work for him and he will contact you about them

USF Nealio · 01/27/2010, 07:04 PM

If sammill is not interested in your rock I'll take it. Let me know.

Kubi · 01/28/2010, 07:17 AM

I have about 100lbs of LR sitting in a rubbermaid can with bi weekly water changes for about 6mos loaded with pods $1.50lb

SamMill · 01/28/2010, 07:49 AM

I can come Saturday around 11:30? If that's ok, pm me where you live. I have to build slowly so I may have to get the first half now and get the other half next week.

Hey Sam! Great to see you on here! You will find lots of great information on here (and get lots of new ways to spend your $$$).

SamMill · 01/28/2010, 07:25 PM

Yep this is great!

stylolvr · 01/29/2010, 07:32 AM

I have about 50 or 60 pounds in the tank I am breaking down. Most of it has at least a coral or two encrusted. Let me know if you are interested.

SamMill · 01/29/2010, 07:38 AM

Yes I'm interested I am bulidimg my 90 slowly so I will need plenty. Where are you and does it have any phosphates and how much will you sell it?

stylolvr · 01/29/2010, 07:45 AM

I am in Riverview, near Apollo Beach. Each piece will be priced seperately based on size and what corals are on it (ranging from zoas to SPS, many pieces with several corals). prices will run from $2 and up. I run a sumpless, skimmerless and reactorless system, so I'm sure there are some phosphates, but nothing that can't be diminished with some GFO and a couple water changes. I have a couple areas of macro algae I grow and harvest on a regular basis in the tank (acting as an in-tank refugium), and do 10 gallon water changes weekly to keep nutrients at bay. I have been successfully growing SPS in this tank for over a year.

SamMill · 01/29/2010, 07:52 AM

I'm sorry but your to far. I have to build slowly and would have to get 20 pounds at a time(one a week). But thanks for the offer.
