RichtheReefer21 · Sep 27, 2020

Who's running the best deals and delivers? Looking for dry only. Perhaps pukani, fiji, but florida reef rock is fine too. Ill be smashing it to pieces mostly anyways...

Whos got the best deals on dry rock?

The best prices I found were on marine depot. BRS will price match on anything they sale which includes Marco rocks. There were a couple of good deals on Amazon, but the rock was pretty solid.

Know this is a bit of an older thread but for the price, customer service, and sustainability aspect, I'm going with addictivereefkeeping in the next month or so for about 500-600lbs of rock. If you look at the flat shelf rock on the site, you can't beat the price per pound and for anyone looking for stax type rock without the price tag, buy the large pieces and use a chisel to break them into smaller pieces. Considering 90lbs of pristine flat shelf rock is only $269, it's a no brainer. Can't get near that anywhere else. Their small, medium, and large prices up to 150lbs definitely isn't too shabby either.

Just my 2 pennies worth

Thanks for sharing!

I landed a few local deals and struck gold.

I ordered some marcorocks from premium aquatics and I'm really pleased with the look of the rock - very natural looking and tons of holes and channels through it! I like that they charge by the pound as well rather than per piece as the other retailers seem to; I got a 2lb piece of foundation rock which was a great size for ~$7, and would probably have been $14 from BRS.
