Live rock from Local store

[maven76nyc]

Does anyone know of a good lfs in the NYC/NJ/LI area that would have a good selection of live rock?

Manhattan Aqu.in Manhattan
New World Aqu.in Manhattan
Treasure Island in Brooklyn
Or order online.

Are you just starting up a tank?
If so, might be better off with base rock seeded with live rock to keep your costs down.
You can also watch our For Sale forum for posts on live rock from other members, much better pricing than at your LFS

I agree with Kathy that is what I did and I was very happy with all the rock I bought which was over 30 pounds for 50$

yeah maven76nyc for what u pay the lfs u can get twice as much for the the money u get better stuff from some of the member on here ...the lfs dont really treat there stuff like the member do u might have to do a little traveling but that some of the fun of the hobby

Every time I have gotten rock from LFT (long island) they had many pests. I won't do it again...

I'd rather use base rock and seed it from a reputable reefer/tank. I know it's the slow way, but you get less surprises this way.

that what i was talking about keith p ..to me it dont seem like the lfs take care of there stuff .

They just have too high of a traffic rate for it not to happen.

I'm also looking for about 60lbs. What's your price?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Manhattanreefs.com is the best LFS around.

 

[Reef Reaper]

I agree with Chiefmcfuz, plus the prices are the best!!!!!!!

 

[Awibrandy]

But you still have to be carefull. Can't trust every one...

 

[Reef Reaper]

If no one is selling any, then Pet's Warehouse is the next choice. they have a nice selection at this time!

 

[Cibo]

[Awibrandy]
