Where should I get my rock?

BenHyder · Jan 4, 2015

I am setting up a 75 gallon tank and I would like to know where I can get the cheapest dry rock?

Most all the online stores carry dry rock now. I would recommend looking on this forum or your local forum. There are always people breaking down their systems and you can probably get the rock at a good price

local forum can be a good place to look if you have one. i see it on ours all the time 1-2 dollar range. brs carries good rock also but i didnt like the eco saver rock at all.

I like AquaMaxx Dry rock from MarineDepot... I used it in my 120(40-50lbs) and in my wife's 40(20lbs) They just started carrying different types including Tonga...

Check it out... They usually have good sales on it..

Bulk Reef Supply (BRS) gets my vote.

I would go with some Marco rock. I used it with my new 210 set up, and have been very pleased with the results so far. The rock seems very clean.

+BRS Reef Saver. Just rinse off and good to go. :bigsmile:

I like the BRS dry rock. It has worked well for me in both of my tanks.

I got some from brs but, the best is from marcos rock. It is very clean very porous and each rock is individually wrapped in bubble wrap. They have lots of different options so you can get exactly what you want. They even have packages where they'll set up the aqua scape based on how you want it to look. I talked to him on the phone and he is a real nice guy also. I won't buy dry rock from anyplace else.

You are right -- I forgot to mention that. Each rock was individually wrapped in bubble wrapped. I was very very pleased with the packaging of the rocks. Ended up getting a couple of their flat back rocks, which are pretty nice.

I second reef cleaners. He is a really good dude and I also got a generous 15 pounds for $38. Rock was gorgeous, although not individually wrapped. Very pleased with them!
