Live Rock Supply & $$$

[haanZii]

Hi all reefer,

abit lost track on the pricing of the LR nowaday, any reefer can contribute the pricing for large LR 5kg above & any good supplier? am preparing for my new 5 ft.

thks & regards!

LR at pasir ris farms range from $5-$12. however, u wanna get cured rocks then check the pasam malam more often. for ur five feet tank, i suppose you need about 120kg of rocks.. depending on how u scape.

[darkstar]

yo,

Acidjazz is right. For a 5ft, you need more than 100kg of rocks.

I bought mine from a variety of LFS. From IAquatic to Iwarna to CoralFarm. Also got some small pieces from MarineLife also. Their range is from $5 to $16.

Get cured LR. But then again, who guarantees that its really cured? In this forum, alot of discussion was posted on using cured/uncured/dead rocks. Spend sometime to search around.

Alot of experts in SRC. Can ask them on curing rocks also.

Iaquatic sells LRs???

i tot Ian only does Acrylic???... u meant i-aquarium... si boh?? dun confuse lehz....

if u want huge LRs... i think u should go for Fiji... more natural shape and better colour.... and when u stack fiji rocks... they look more natural as compared to those indo ones...

u can either try... Paradiz Reef... (yup! typed the whole name for the kick of it.) and also Coral Farm... these are the only 2 places i know where the Fiji rocks are really frm Fiji....

Coral Farm is cheaper if my memory nv fail me... but when u calculate petrol.... u see for yourself....

Hi Bro mUAr_cHEe,

Any idea how much does Fiji LR cost per KG in Paradiz Reef? and oso in Coral Farm?

Anybody know? Thanks.

[mUAr_cHEe]

17 or 18 bucks per kg....

if i not wrong CF is cheaper.... by a buck.... only make a big diff if u buying the whole chunk of 100 kg??

Hi Guys,

Went pasir Ris yesterday, can't find much LR, all are small in size & seems like stock are very low. went to paradiz reef too. saw some big LR but are those very solid fill type. one piece think at least more than10 kg. last place went coralfarm. had alot of coral & LR. place is high tech but i guess the price should also be high.....! but still the LR are very nice. those who interested should pay a visit there. me still waiting for my new tank to come. hiopefully it will be here by next weekend.

Dear Reefers,

thks advance.

[shoelevy]

for oceanic salt, i would recommend bio ocean

for corallife, can try petmart

for kent marine, try sealife

[acidjazz]

[flying carpet]

Last time I check coral farm sell l/r at $16/kg.

[Reeffer]

[haanZii]

hhmmm....

why does having coralline algae on the rocks makes it so much better?

maybe look nicer lor.

but with proper level of calcium, alkalinity and strontium some ordinary looking rocks sooner or later also can grow coralline algae and thrive.
