Hello!

I'm setting up two tanks, one for home (150) and the office (220). I need quite a bit of rock for these tanks...

I was in Big Al and they do have some nice white 'reef' rock. I'm not looking for live rock, just nice rock to rockscape and put corals on. Which are good places to shop for rocks?

Thank you!

You will need some "live rock" at some point to seed your dry/Macro rock.
Any of these places can help as well setting up your tanks, as well as people on this form :)
Aqua Valley
Got Fish
Marinescape
Ray's

In alphabetical order only ;D

Quite the project ;D

Thanks for your help.

Sure, I will need some macro alga for the refugiums and live rock to get some bacteria imported... but first, I need to get the rockscape right. And that needs dry rock.

I'll visit those stores this weekend. Marinescape I visited already (got the 220 there). Certainly the place for live stock. I did not ask for rocks at the time, I'll now.

I'm planning to use epoxy to keep the rocks together. Any preferences in brands / suppliers?

I'll post pictures as we set these up!
