In NEED of Live Rock

[Jon Fleck]

I was going to start this out as "Will BEG for Live Rock Resource" but that is a given.
I am at the point of commencing cycling 40 gallon breeder.
One of the challenges is that I live in a rather "rural" area (i.e. 2.5 hours to the closest LFS).
The tank is aquascaped with 60 pounds of Marco dry rock.
I am in need of small (golf, orange, baseball) size coral live rock to transition and start coraline growth.
I have reached out to Florida vendors who have been gracious and responded quickly however, their inventory is focused at "larger pieces" which would defeat the aquascape.
ANYONE who is aware of a vendor that has 15-20 pounds of smaller coraline encrusted live rock, I would be forever in your debt with sharing that information.

As a suggestion; you could order 15-20lbs (or slightly more) of larger rock, and then just break it up to suit your needs. Breaking up the rock won't harm the "live" nature of it.

Also having 70+ lbs of rock in a 40 gallon is a little overkill

A better solution is get some snails that have coraline on the shell. Will work the same way.

Snails or frags with coraline are an option. There used to be a place that sold 3"x 3" encrusted plates that you could place in your tank.
