ive been to the site and really don't feel like searching and clicking buy and all that... Was wondering if anyone who has purchased these rocks got any special deals over a certian amount also..
Bob,
I grabbed mine at the NJRC swap. I saved on shipping and a discount price...$2.49/lb if I remember correctly.
40 lbs of rock is alot of rock because you are not paying for the water weight. I got about 12 - 13 pieces of bigger size rock.
I just went to the site and did a buy on 50lbs.. then I did the calculator and shipping was $9 to zip 07011 for UPS ground.
He has Great Rock! I have about 1/2 in my 120 and you can't tell the difference once it colored up from the Live Kalini I spent over $300 for. LOL
Mocros Rock been selling AT the LIRA NERAC held at the atlantis Marine world in riverhead each year. Last yr he brought over 3 tons of the rock that you can pick over..
Like I said the stuff is Great and LIGHT !!!!

Marco Rocks are the best rocks I have ever purchased for aquascaping. I purchased a 25 lbs. box for my Nano Aquarium. If your interested in how it looks just take a look at my thread titled "Jasonanatal's JBJ 28 gallon Nano Cube HQI SPS Reef Aquarium". It took just about 2 weeks for my rock to cure so it is also safe to say in my personal opinion that your Filtration and Aquarium setup does have a role to play in the Curing time. I would rather purchase non cured personaly since the shipping is cheaper but that is just my personal opinion.
it would be cheaper to purchase non cured rock because of the time it would take you to cure it rather than the seller having to cure it. they can just sell it to you without having to clean off the rocks of die off and stuff...i would guess that the sellers holding time/inventory space etc, would be held a lot less (greater turnover of rock) if just sold as uncured rather than having to cure it...
cured live rock would be rock that no longer needs to be cleaned of die off etc (should be considered safe to place into tank)
and non cured live rock would be rock that does require it be cleaned of die off etc. (NOT considered safe to place into tank)
Live rock vs Dry rock, your paying for the inhabitants and algae's that will survive after the curing process and the beneficial bacteria thats in the live rock. Your paying for the life on the rock where as paying for Dry rock you are paying for rock that is dead.
does anyone culture their rock? If there is a thread on this already...feel free to direct me to it. My searches aren't always fruitful here.
