Live rock

Does anyone know where I can order some live rock that is really nice with a wide range of growth on them? Thanks!!

Check out Sealife. The rock is farmed down in the Florida keys.

Does live aquaria have good live rock? Thanks for the link, their rock looks nice

I don't have any experience with live aquaria...

You might also try Tampa Bay Saltwater. I have hear very good things about them.

I am a huge liveaquaria fan. I've ordered their love rock and the shapes were great. I ordered some deep water tonga branching rock, if I remember correctly. The downside to their rock, there wasn't much "life". Tampabaysaltwater had tons of life, but also some pests I didn't want. Their shapes were just plain chunks. Hope that helps.

I have experience with Fiji, pukani, vanutu Marshall islands and tukani. The tukani trumps the rest with the wide range of life on them. I have breeding populations of pods, snails and chitons that all came with this rock. That's just three stuff I have noticed.

What did you end up going with?

Longnose Hawkfish · May 25, 2014

It will be in like a month. I'm going to buy 50 lbs from my local fish store and 40 lbs from one of these vendors. I am going to contact these sellers and I want to order the rock that has a lot of life on them.

Longnose Hawkfish · May 25, 2014

I'll make sure to let you all know and I'll post pics of it when it comes in.

I'll toss out another vendor: saltwaterfish.com. I got some of my live rock from them. It was full of life. It even had a scutus in it.

I like Tampa bay saltwater, but don't want the unwanted hitch hikers. I know all rock will have unwanted creatures but it seems like tbs rock has a lot.

Do you remember what type of rock you ordered from them? Thanks

What's the difference between Fiji live rock and Tukani? Thanks

We got our rock from TBS( 100g package). Tons of life and yes there was some unwanted hitch hikers( not that many). But, the life on the rock and the extras he sent, out weighed the few unwanted hitch hikers.
