Cheap Uncured Transshipped Liverock

Ok - so I want a box of rocks - you know, the standard 50 pounder is fine. Doesn't really matter what kind - but has to be very fresh, uncured, and I'd prefer someone who transships to my door (or my airport).

Anyone recommend a place?

I am not sure if these guys tran$ ship but they sell boxes cheap, and I have seen the rock in several tanks on another site. The stuff is awesome

www.exoticfish.com

This is where I plan to buy my rock for the build off.

thanks man.

I actually bought 100 lbs of my original rock from Jeff (exoticfish). Good stuff... Nice and stinky.

What kind did you order James? I am wondering about the fiji, tonga, and tonga deep water.

Is stinky a good thing? Wouldn't that imply dead things?

Dead things would imply that there were living things on it to begin with... IE: if it aint stinky, it's probably been "cured".

Personal preference I guess - I'm a fan of getting my liverock closer to the start and doing the scrubbing/killing stuff myself.

I concur with James. Stinky is good when curing LR. No smell means there is nothing on the rock to die.

The truth is though that I am actually a huge fan of baserock. But you do need some live rock to make it work.
