Live Rock Ranch - Anyone ever buy from here?

[slugwall]

I am looking for 50+lbs of live rock and could use some help with suggestions.
Live Rock Ranch seems pretty sweet on the deals and the look of the Rock.
I need to do more research but would definately welcome suggestions...

Looks like your normal Florida aquacultured live rock... It will be heavier rock but with allot more life since it usually comes direct from the diver and shorter distance of travel and no customs.
I have never bought from them myself or heard about them before. I did a quick search on them and there are a few people not too happy with them. Might want to try gulfview or tampabay, they would cary the same type of rock and have a good reputation.

I have bought Rick from both TBS and Sea Life inc. both had great life. TBS had more pests so I would definitely cure the rock. I think I pulled about 12 or 13 gorilla crabs. I also have a pair of really small pistols that came in on the rock that are fine so I didn't remove.

If you go that route I definitely recommend air freight.

Sea life is another reputable company. I have ordered livestock from him but never live rock.

I ordered from live rock ranch and was not impressed. The rock came in dead due to the fact that it took way to long to get to me. There were other issues as well. I will not be ordering from them again.

Oh and I should add that I did pay a premium and ordered cured from sea life as i was adding to an existing tank. There were no pests. Not sure if tbs offers cured.
