i thought Dennis bought the 46 bow that was at the store, but after looking back at your profile, i see yours is oceanic, and it looks way better than that used one that was at the store.

sorry, i assumed too much. we all know what happens when i assume :rolleye1:

Live Aquaria has Fiji and Lalo on sale right now.Live Aquaria (http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg.cfm?pCatId=393)
This is who I got my rock from. 45lbs for $99 you can't beat it.

Derek,

I can't beat that price, but you can choose from over 500 pounds of fully cured fiji premium. You pick it out. You can stack it up to get the structure you would like. Yes, you will pay more, but these are advantages with it. When you purchase a box you get what they send you --- ie. bolders and rubble. Lastly, don't forget you will need to cure the rock, doing water change after water change after water change to remove the oraganics and keep the rock from bleaching from ammonia. Quality live rock at reasonable prices, $5.00 / lb.

Thank You,

yes derek i agree with bruce about you getting what they send landon isthe only personi have seen that got good peices from online vendors everyone else got peices too smalll to use orsomethingelse was wrong just make sure the vendor i a repatable dealer do some research into their back ground

Well I'll chip in and back their statements so there's at least one person without a motive to sell you live rock from a LFS :p

You won't waste as much rock because you only pick out what you want, and you wo'nt have to worry about the rocks crumbling during shipping. There's pros and cons to each way, but I like to be able to hand pick my rocks :)

hey jason how did your exams go do you feel that you passed them

[jjac]

I am fine with the rock that I got from Live Aquaria. I ordered a 45 and a 90. The 45 had 7-8 football sized pieces while the 90 had 4-5 football sized and one large piece that probably went around 35-40lbs. There was a small amount of rubble in the box, but those piece are perfect in a fuge or for gluing up frags.

[SptfireXIV]

They went pretty well, I ended up with a 3.0 GPA for the semester, which was a little bit of a disappointment, but thats ok :)

[phishguy78]

i actually like rubble and small sizes the best. you have to mix in a few large pieces to creat gaping holes and large bridges, but other than that small pieces are easier to work with. you can always make a bunch of small pieces look big, but you can never get a big piece to look smal :D

also the small ones are great for supporting the larger pieces. when pieces dont fit perfect, i can usually find a small piece to wedge somewheere to hold up the larger stuff :D
