Large Dry/live rock

T_BONE · Apr 25, 2018

Didn’t find any info in the search so Sorry if this question has been asked before, but is there anywhere to get large pieces of dry or live rock? LFS and online searches come up empty except for Tonga shelf’s! I would like a couple pieces 10-12” or larger. I know I can mortar some smaller ones together but wanted to see if there were any other options available. Thanks in advance for the replies.

You might want to check out (Marco Rocks)used them for my 180 just tell them what size rock you want if your wanting dry rock

BRS sells larger pieces of Pukani. I orderd 150 lbs of it and at least one piece per box was larger than 18". I mean at first glance you would think I moved a piece of rock from our front yard landscape into my tank...

Not knocking them at all - just giving a reference, the rock I received in some cases measured 24" in length.

Thanks for the help my fellow reefers. I will definitely look into them. I am just wanting one or two 12-16” pieces to fill in my “empty” spots. Gonna need some more real estate when my current rock of filled with frags.

BRS has the flat plate coral someone else mentioned. I ordered 1 piece, and it turned out to be over 16" across.
Totally cool, but I have a Fusion Nano 20

Just thought I would update what I ended up settling on. Went by my LFS and they had two CaribSea Shapes liferock arches that are about 16” long and 5-6” wide in the center. The arch is about 5 inches also. He had been sitting on them for close to a year and I ended up getting a pretty good deal, at least I thought so, of 50 bucks for both. I also ordered a large piece from Marco as well as a some mortar to create a scape with all said pieces. BTW I have used their mortar before and it is some pretty good quality stuff. Thanks guys for the input and the advise.
