POLL ABOUT LIVE ROCK!

[yikai]

Just want to know where u buys get ur live rock from. Please discuss about the quality of rock from where u got it? I will start the ball rolling. I got my LR from jir@h marine for $8/kg. Quality is quite normal as far as live rock goes.

lck201 selling at $4 per kg,

come in very huge pieces too..

sometimes its uncured, so got to cure it yourself. but the size is very rare for so big 1.

I only buy cured live rocks, because i dont have a separate area to cure uncured ones. =( and i live in condo, not very big condo. Im afraid the smell of the curing liverock will drive me insane.. and the neighbours. lol

Hi Bro

I got all 80% of my LR from Marine Life (Henry). They seem to be lighter then other LFS. It seem to be from different source compare to other LFS. Lighter which also means that you do not pay more for weight. However the price per kg is higher.

10% from Iwana and they are great too. 10% from reefer.

Just my 2 cents:

Method 1

You should have in mind a rough idea on rock scaping you wanted to archeive before start your LR shopping. Then visit LFS and find the size and shape you need. Rock scaping can be like 2 island scaping, single island scaping, rock wall or multi cliff format....

Method 2

Purchase the rocks you like and start mix and match for the scaping. This way, you will have to do the scaping on what been purchase.

Method 3

I got mine from Jiireh...not too bad. But i find Reborn has better ones and dun have to travel so far to the farms to get them.

Depending on where they are harvested from and the quality. Good ones may cost more than $8/kg.

Smell the rocks first to make sure you dun get the rotten smell. Rotten smell means there are dead crustaseans and you will introduce nitrate into your waters.

I bought a tonga few months back and i noticed my nitrate very high despite changing waters. Until one day, i took out my tonga and smell, then i realised the dead crustaseans on the tonga and i threw it away.
