Fellow reefer hand out needed pls!!!

Hi fellow reefers:

Don't want to look like a beggar but I have five kids so anything will help. After having my own reef tank then giving it away I miss the hobby and wanted to jump back in. So I'd like to enlist your help.

I tried to buy some live rock on the internet but no one sells less then 25 lbs. I'm starting a 7 gallon Nano reef because the wife won't let me start a larger one.

So basically does anyone have a few pieces they can sell me I just need enough for my little 7 gallon, also need live sand if anyone can spare some. Again thank you for any help you can provide, God Bless and Happy New Year to all.


Pls. email max1@myself.com

Your fellow reefer,
Max Olivares
Orlando, FL.
Hurricane Ally.

Thanks All !!!

I did find a local store but they want $10 per lb for LR with no color or life on it and it's the best saltwater store in the area. I just don't get it. Anyway $10 per lb is a little step for me right know, Paul thanks alot for your help I sent you a PM. Again thanks.

If you want to make the trip down here, let me know, and I'll take you around to the local guys. I just bought some southdown, and I'll sell it for $8 per 40 lb bag. It's not live, but that doesn't exactly take a long time anyway. Saturday afternoon and Sunday is best for me.

If I were you, I'd make my own...Very cheap, very easy. And you can make custome pieces. It will become live rock after a little time in the tank with either live sand or live rock. It's called argocrete and garf shows you how to make it. So easy that everyone should be doing it.
