Hi. I'm looking for some well established live sand/rock--mostly rock. I'm willing to pay for overnight shipping to my local airport (ABQ) for pick up. Looking for 200+ pounds of rock.
I suggest packing rock in double plastic bags with live sand in same bag to retain moisture. Tight seals, heat packs, styrofoam, and cardboard boxes. I am willing to reimburse for the bags, boxes, styrofoam, etc if the price is reasonable.
THANKS

I have about 150lbs. of Live sand with all kinds of critters in there that I am trying to get rid of. I currently have it stored in a container with 2 maxi jet 1200 power heads to keep water movement going. If you are interested in all of the sand I can sell it you for $75 per lbs. and you pay shipping cost. If interested email me at nakamotoshayne@hotmail.com

I'm in ABQ also! Yeah, USPS will ship priority in a 'flat rate' box for $8.80--whatever you can fit in the box (A bit bigger than a shoe box)

Coral Island moved to Candelaria NE.....Near the Big I.
Fins n Critters is my next stop--want to see what they have...otherwise I don't shop there much.
Clark's gave me some REALLY BAD advice and wiped out my 240g 4 year old reef....I'm still cleaning it up....
Will go look at Fins' live rock Monday.
THANKS

Petes Pets up here in Santa Fe just got in some nice live rock on Thursday. My son and I have a 125 and 29 that are full of it. It is coming from Tampa Bay.

To get to Petes Pets, take I-25 North to the Cerrillos rd. exit. Head North into town and it is maybe 3-5 miles on the left side of the road. The address is 2801 Cerrillos Road, their phone # is471-5071. Ask for Max he should be able to help you. We just bought some Coral thre yesterday. Good luck.
