I've ordered live rock on ebay a few times and never had a problem and recieved some awesome rock.

I have to agree, I just bought 50 LBS of Premium Fiji Walt Smith liveorck and couldnt have gotten better rock. Fopr the price they were basically giving it away.

Here is a link. This is the rock I got. Search for saltwater liverock, otherwise you get rock bands Cd's.

Here's the rock in my tank.

Links to EBay aren't permitted.

I bought my live rock online from Premium Aquatics. I am VERY happy with the rock I received from them and was able to make some cool caves and swimthroughs. I asked for unusual shaped pieces, and that's exactly what they sent me! I purchased 55 lbs of Kaelini rock from them for my first tank - 53 gallons. Below is a picture of the rock when I put it into my tank, and the second picture is two months later. If you want a full report of my experience using Premium Aquatics, click on the link below.

Another vote for Premium Aquatics here. I've gotten all of my LR from them, and couldn't be happier.

You can get ahold of them through their online chat, email, or phone...let them know what you want to do with your aquascape and they'll get you pieces that let you achieve the look your going for. Another good thing about PA is that you can purchase any amount of LR that you want...you could order 1lb if you wanted (not very cost effective ). And their customer service is top notch.

I got some Marshall Island LR on my last order...all I can say is, wow , it's some sweet LR.

GL

**edit** I'll try and get some pictures of it up in a bit.

What kind did you get from Reefer Madness? I bought Kaelini from there when I first started out. I liked the actual rock, but there wasn't much life.

No pics but the rock I got from premiumaquatics.com is the best rock I've ever had or seen. I recommend them highly.
