I pulled out about 1/3 of the rock in my 120 because it was getting pretty crowded. I don't have a scale so I don't know how many pounds total, but all of the rock shown on the web page below is for sale or trade.

Click here to visit web page with pictures of the rock (http://www.donovanfish.net/temp/)

Anyone care to guess at the weight? lol

If interested in all or part of it, let me know.
Thanks!

PM sent... If you want to swing by and take a look at it let me know. I'm afraid to guess the weight... maybe 50lbs? Probably more if I think about it... I'll stop by Kmart after work and pick up a scale so I can provide a better idea of weight.

All but two pieces of the tonga are gone. One of those two have some polyps on it, the other has a very cool green mushroom. Cool shapes also. I'll take a picture later today if anyone is interested.
Still have around 80 lbs of "other" rock available. Most is the porus base rock with holes drilled in them to allow for circulation. They all pretty much have color and/or cluster dusters growing on them.

I tried to get a couple pictures of the two remaining tonga rocks... they have been posted at the link above.

How much for the tonga with the green mushroom?
How much for the tonga with the polyps?

I'm pretty new to selling/trading. Seems like a polyp colony like this would go for $30 retail?? How about $20?

As for the man rock with the mushroom... please make an offer. I haven't seen mushrooms like these very often locally. They sure glow under actinics.

I have been selling it for $2.50 lb, if you take the whole batch I could go $2.00 lb.

Was at a lfs yesterday and they said they might go $3-$4 lb but they wanted to look at it in person first. Of course, that is an awful lot of work to have them lowball me once I'm there. Not saying they would do that, but once it is there it would be hard to bring it all back home (and I'm guessing they know that).

The tank will be empty today though (if I have any say in the matter). If nobody picks it up, I'm headed to that lfs. I'm sure the price of it will double once they have it.

Oh... btw, my guess as to how much weight is left is 80-100 lbs. That is only a guess.
