Many people here like TBS rocks, Tampa bay saltwater.
I think another one is premium aquatics
There are more out there but these are the ones I can think of off hand

I ordered from Reefscience.com

It was a little pricey, but it looked great. I'll order from them if I ever need any more.

I've had great experience with a company in Chino, Cal.
Oceanproaquatics.com good prices nice selection. Also ships air-freight which comes out to be a hell of alot cheaper than overnight.

If you are willing to allow the rock to start from scratch (aka dry rock) I picked up my 150 lbs of Dry rock from "marcorocks.com" Turned out to be some darn nice pieces for the price. And if you watch ebay he sells a lot of his stock on there for 1/2-2/3 his retailed price.

Here's a pic of the boxes that I recieved in the auction.



Here is one of the pieces that came in one of the boxes (roughly a 20 lb piece dry)

Sure is... Problem is sorting the good deals from the bad deals. And finding the responsible sellers over the trying to make a buck sellers.

There are some great deals on ebay right now. $1.99 per pound is the lowest I have ever seen! I have bought the 50 lb. boxlot from them before, and they seem like great guys. All they do is live rock.

I had an EXCELLENT experience with Premium Aquatics. You can call them and they will tell you want is good and what is not at any given time - they will also pick pieces based on what you want if possible. Arrived in great condition, no smell, no unwanted hitchhikers.
