What store has the best LR in the bay?

[Reggae Reefer]

How's everyone doing? I was (maybe still am) a member of BAR but I had to get rid of my reef 6 months ago when I moved. Now I am getting the urge to set up a nano. I just found out Tropical Paradise is closed

Do any local stores have really good live rock these days? You know the kind I am talking about, tons of coralline, etc...

Thanks!

If you want lots of coralline, your best off buying from someone getting out of the hobby.

If you search the livestock for sale thread on BAR, you'll see someone trying to unload a lot of rock.

Best of luck,

Thanks for the reply, I have bought LR from people online... but at the moment I am looking for a store that has a good amount of high quality LR that I can pick through and find just a couple of pieces that are the shapes I am looking for. I haven't been to some of the newer stores that everyone is talking about like AG and AS... do they have good LR?

All about fish in Pleasant Hill has a lot of rock. It won't have coralline; but, if your priority is the shape the coralline will grow in time anyways.

Best of luck,

like racrumrine said, the coralline will eventually grow. What you want is good live rock with pods and stuff. I would try Aquarium Concepts in Hayward. good luck!

I have some you can have. Need to coordinate it with Gresham removing the clowns though. PM me.-Jim

Octopus's Garden in Berkeley has a lot of great rock including coraline covered stuff, its on the expensive side tho'.

Lucky Goldfish has 5.00/lb rock tho' I haven't seen it so I can't vouch for its quality.

No AS doesn't have live rock, but they do have the best dead/dry rock you've ever seen.

I was lucky enough to get rocks covered with corralline at Ultimate Aquarium in San Mateo. It was $4.99/Lb.
