Here are a few more places you may want to look at. Could not tell you about any of them because I have not ordered any online. People on this forum like the stuff from SWF also. <a href="http://www.exoticfish.com" target="_blank">www.exoticfish.com</a>

I just received 30lbs of rock from <a href="http://www.gulf-view.com" target="_blank">www.gulf-view.com</a> It was $4.33/lbs delivered next day to my door.
The rock was awesome. Hardly any die off, and alot of color and life. So far I have seen 3 good size clams, 2 small crabs, and 1 small serpant star. Many bristle worms, small feather dusters, and more.....
I would definatley order from there again... I have also heard great things about the rock SWF.com also

Gulf view rock was good, and you can feel like a responsible reefist when buying from them, because this is aqua-cultured rock. I got mine yesterday, and decided it best to cure the rock first. Great idea, right now my house smells like low tide in a sess pool. I checked the water parameters of the curing rock, I've never seen ammonia levels so high. Ammonia is 1.0, and nitrites are at .25. This would have killed the last two inhabitants of my tank.
If you buy online make sure to cure the rock first, if you have anything alive in your tank.

i love my gulf view. the guy that answears the phone is the one who dives, if he has a good selection he will handpicked you what you want if he has time.

gulf view rocks sounds good. would I have to cure it if i am just starting a new reef tank or can i put it in and let it cycle

 

[fshhub]

for a new tank which has not cycled, i would add the lr and cycle the tank with it

I was at my local fish store and saw I picture of a tank that was2 months old with tbsaltwater.com live rock, this rock was immaculate!!!! I can't tell you how many colors were on the rocks! It was the best lr I have EVER seen in my life! I wish I had ordered my rocks from them, you should definalty look into there site.

I highly recommend <a href="http://www.gulf-view.com" target="_blank">www.gulf-view.com</a> rock. It is the best. I would use it to cycle if it is a new tank because there will be die off because of the amount of life on the rock, it is amazing. I would also suggest doing partial water changes every other day or so to preserve as much life as possible until the ammonia is gone which took about seven days for my rock.
