Buying Live Rock from Gulfliverock

Fapman · Nov 30, 2022

As I'm setting up a 15IM, 3.8, and 2.5 shallow, the price for 17 lbs of Deco Live Rock is currently an absurd bargain. I live in Seattle, so the rock will have a long journey if I choose the 1-3 shipping option. Does anyone know if I'll just be screwing myself by trying to save money?

That is a long way, so not sure. I ordered mine and received it 24 hours, because I am much closer than you are.

I would air cargo that distance, that way its submerged in water….

I would pony up the extra $60-$70. Priority Mail is probably fine if you don't care about the pretty stuff on the outside and just want the stuff you can't see. Might need to cure it for a bit.

GLR doesn't do the water thing unless you get it shipped by air and request it. They have their reasons, and it's nice not paying for water weight when you're getting a lot of it.
