I would also be interested in finding a good deal on some LR. I'm trying to fill up the 180 and don't want to break the bank. Thanks

I just orderd a box from SeaTrade Marine. It's only $139 for a 50lb box. They are located in NJ so you can save $30 in shipping if you pick it up. $169 w/ shipping seems pretty reasonable too...

He also sells on ebay and has NOTHING but excellent reviews. Mine should be here friday. I'll post an update when it gets here...

Marine Center (http://www.marinecenter.com/rocks/liverock/premiumfijiliverock/) is running a sale on Fiji live rock, 50 pounds for $169, shipping included. I got some for my newly setup tank a few weeks ago. It's pretty good rock, I don't know how accurate the term "premium" is, but it's definetely not base rock. Good coralline growth on most of the rocks and they're good sized rocks, very little rubble.

I saw Blue Zoo Aquatics (sponsor on RC) has a 45lb UNCURED Fiji for $168.95 shipped. I am also interested in, but a little nervous about this place: http://www.sealifeflorida.com/catalog/index.php Can anyone confirm they are good or bad?? Gosh, I wish TBS had some rock.

I haven't bought any liverock but have purchased numerous inverts from Ken at Sealifeflorida and he's been great to deal with and quick to respond to any questions/emails.

As promised... Here is a link to a picture of my LR from Sea Trade Marine. GREAT stuff. The owner, Bernie, was really cool. Great communication before and after the sale.



Please let me know what you think....

Check out *******.com for some live rock. He's got premium fiji for $3.50 a pound, and I believe it has been tanked in their facility too! Less curing time for you, etc.

been good to me with customer service as well.

Probably really late to post this but here is pictures of liverock from www.sealifeflorida.com . It was taken about 2 weeks after receiving and , obviously, the bottom is base rock and the top is the 50 pounds of rock I received.
