wtb live rock in eastern PA - know any cheap places?

[sjg22483]

I'm in the allentown area, but willing to drive to pick up some good live rock. My local store sells for like $7.50 a pound... I have some sites online i'm looking at, but was wondering if any of you guys either are getting rid of any, or know of a store that sells cheap live rock ($4 a pound or so) that's not diseased. Thanks

You could go to Something Fishy in Northampton PA. Live rock $6 lb. and rubble rock $4 lb. I think. Store worth a visit. Can do google search for website.
Good luck.

AWESOME!!! I've been looking for more stores. I usually go to Shear Heaven in Allentown, right across 22 from the lehigh valley mall
do you know of any others in the area?

 

[tomisfast]

They are only two good stores iI know of unless you go to that fish place in lancaster. I have to go there sometime to check it out. Quakertown pets plus has some saltwater.

dude i got the best place for u.. $3.79 a lb.
the hidden reef.. email mujtba@2trom.com if you dont know where it is..

That is in philly right? How is that place? When it gets nicer I am planning on riding my motorcycle to these various places. That way I wont be tempted to max out credit card.

I am less then an hr from Lancaster alittle more then an hr to Philly. I go to that fish place in lancaster every chance I get, and have been to world wide in philly, (not a real big store, but adaquite) I think the lr is about 7.00 in both places.Never been to the hidden reef, gotta check it out!

 

[sjg22483]

I'm actually in Bethlehem, but i figure more people would respond to the "allentown area" post, but yeah, i'm only a few minutes away.
psusocr - what's the name of the store in your area? let me know if they have a website or address, i have to check it out
Thanks a ton, if you guys know of any more keep em coming, i might have to devote a saturday to road-tripping and check em all out.... you know, true salt water fish hobbyist style

[puffer32]

I can't go this weekend, but let me know what you think? Can you see if they sell tanks and stands, (looking for a reasonable priced 75 gal) and what they want for lr? Thanks!

 

[brandons]

I think that pet place is 4 or 4.5 a pound for the live rock...
Puffer, that fish place has decent prices on tanks.. I got a 75g Glass that was 48lx18dx24h and it was I believe 115

 

[puffer32]

Brandon, that pet place in centerville right? I was there awhile back, but didn't price any equiptment because at the time I with friends looking for pond supplies, I will check it out again soon, thanks.

 

[brandons]

Not sure, to me it's Lancaster because i'm like 1.5-2 hours north of there, but there aren't any stores where I live in BFE. It's That Fish Place/That Pet Place... it's huge and has a large plaster shark head on the front entrance.
