dry base rock, nice variety of shapes, $1.50/lb

apologeticus · #1 01/12/2007, 12:36 PM

I realized that what I have here is technically "dry goods," so I'm posting this here. Mods, please delete the other thread if this double post is a problem.
------------------

I got this off of a fellow reefer who was tearing his tank down. thought I might use it in the future but I decided I don't want it taking up room.

OK, here's what I have:

1st pic for overall size reference: 5g HD bucket in background, rocks on top of 18g rubbermaid lids (nano rocks in middle already sold):

As I said earlier, I got these from a local reefer who was tearing his tank down and the rock had a lot of bubble algae. the rock has been sitting dry in covered buckets in my backyard for several weeks, including nights when the temp got down into the teens, so it's DEAD rock. It needs to be scrubbed down and preferably soaked for a while first. I've been cooking some of it in WC water for a few days.

1.50/lb + shipping. I can even try to send you the specific pieces you request if they're still available. no guarantees on that, though. I've already sold some of this rock at nano-reef. Click here for my feedback.

I've gotten several questions about weight and size. I hope to have the rock weighed on an accurate scale later today, but I'm guessing it's around 100 lbs. the blue lids the rock is sitting on are 24"x18", if that helps you judge size.

Ok, had the rock weighed and it came out to 99 lbs (am I good at guessing or what?) but the 3 rocks in the top right of the 3rd picture are spoken for, which knocks the total amount available down to 76 lbs. will try to respond to PMs as I can

no response from Shelby2u, so this is still available. I'll only charge for 35 lbs for this last bit to make sure everyone gets at least as much as they ordered (probably a tad more).

I am picking up my new tank next weekend and need about 100lbs of rock. If some of what you have left is good, not just junk rock I would like it. Where are you shipping from?

haven't heard from nitrox and shipped off all the other rock, so here are pics of what I have left:

I had it weighed and it comes out to 34 lbs, so I'll sell this last bit for an even $50 + shipping. I'll be out of town Mon-Tues so won't be able to ship until Wed Jan 17

Hi,
Looks like perfect base rock........I will take it.........but I am wondering about shipping. Being "dead" rock, I am sure it should be pretty easy to ship "dry", standard UPS in a box with some newspaper or bubble wrap.
What have you been seeing shipping wise for some of the rock you have been selling so far?
Can you give me an estimate on shipping to zip 17889........central PA. Looking for the cheapest,ground rate .........I am not in a rush!
I can paypal you once we figure on shipping charges.
You can P.M. if you want........
Thanks.............Herbie
