Need 100lbs Live rock! Input needed

[Aere]

So I live in Palm springs, CA. And there is only two LFS here, and they both are horrible. I am setting my tank up tuesday, and need some live rock. I was wondering where people had good luck with buying it online.

I would like it to be pourus, and have some life to it, as well as maybe some good hitchhikers If I am lucky

o yeah, and the cheaper the better.....preferable 200 bucks for this....if possible

why not just hop in the car and take a drive to SD or LA and visit a top notch store/supplier? its only a couple hours and with a cooler and some towels your rock will be just fine. also, give you a chance to see a good store and their set-ups/livestock. or just get it online.

Get some marcorocks shipped to you and a a few pounds of live rock.

I have bought LR from Live Aquaria and I thought it was good lookin stuff, nothing special but no pests either for me. I have also purchased dry branching rock and rock rubble from BRS and I liked the quality of it a lot.

If you search Craigslist for people selling setups and the forums for setups being sold in socal (check out socalireefs.com)...there are always people looking to get rid of stuff. I think this would be the cheapest way although you will have to drive for it, so maybe that isn't as appealing to you.

Maybe you could try and strike a deal with a local LFS in socal to arrange for a shipment? I'm sure it would be much cheaper to ship if local.
