For live rock, I really like Reefer Madness (www.reefermadness.us). They provided the rock (Buna Branch) for my 75gal. I really loved their selection, and now you can even buy it fully cured from them! That said, there are hundreds of companies willing to bend over backwards to make you happy with your LR purchase.

Regarding the company in the original post, I've never dealt with them. However, they are becoming quite popular because of their DAS skimmer sales. I wouldn't be surprised if they've gotten so popular that they're struggling to keep up with orders, calls, e-mails, etc... From what I hear, they're a good company.

I didn't know they sell live rock.But they make some nice skimmers.Shaun (the owner) has been very busy so it might take a little longer than normal to reply to an e-mail.Try again or wait.He is very busy and short staffed.

Here ya go bud, this is the guy, 100% positive, he works with you on when to ship it....etc. Very good stuff, lots of life and sometimes polyps and zoas, shrooms. I got a shroom, very large gsp colony and about 10-12zoas with my first order and alot of coraline algae. Second order had a couple hermits, no corals : (

Premium Aquatics down in Indiana (Indianapolis, I think) has some really great live rock, and great customer service. You might even be able to road trip it down there and hand pick stuff.

They also have a bunch of skimmers and really nice equipment so you could look at those as well if you make the trip.

That would be a 6-7hr road trip........not worth the gas. : )

OH yea, the das is a great skimmer, if you can afford the two i'd get that in case you want to upgrade ever.

Only takes me about 3 hours or so to make the trip between chicago and indianapolis. Maybe I drive too fast.
