realhiphop Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 ok, well my finalized tank is: 10Gal 50W Ebo jager 1 Minijet 404 and 1 606 2x32 Watt PC Light from PSL but..... I plan on ordering my LR in the next week and I'm kinda stuck on who to order from. I got price quotes from Dr. Mac and gulfview, and both are in the same range, so thats not really a factor. I was just wondering if you guys had anything that could make me sway to one over the other. Obviously both have great rock. Just looking for any suggestions. Link to comment
tyoberg Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I'd take rock that comes from the pacific over Florida rock any day of the week--it's less dense and doesn't have as many pests. Ty Link to comment
realhiphop Posted August 2, 2002 Author Share Posted August 2, 2002 is either a better rock for aquascaping with? what about colors and growth? Link to comment
tyoberg Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 From that angle, I don't think there's a big difference. Link to comment
anthony812 Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 it looks like Gulf-View have pretty interesting and cool LR..i would get from them..or else..just get some from an established tank..look into your local recycler..some people sells those for dirt cheap..i am thinking about buying 140lbs Fiji for $100 and just leave it in a tub to sell slowly..haha..

MKramer Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Man, if someone is dead stuck between an aquacultured rock and a harvested rock, I can't beleive people would recommend the harvested rock. Get the Gulf View. You're not contributing to the destruction of the reefs that you admire so much. Link to comment
gobies Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Besides, Gulf-View uses fairly lightweight rock compared to some of the other aquacultured Florida rock. Also, since there's a LOT less time spent in shipping, it should have better stuff on it. I live close enough to Harbor Aquatics that I drove over there and bought mine ($4/lb). But if I had to order online, I'd get it from Gulf-View or Harbor. Link to comment
mhossom Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 For a new 20 gal. How much of what types would your order from Gulf-View? I am still in my planning stages right now. Link to comment
MKramer Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I don't see any reason to pay the extra money for the deco rock. I'd stick with the coraline rock. I think you'll be surprised how many ltitle thigns come out of it anyway. Link to comment
harbingerofthefish Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Well I'm no help on the rock, but you mentioned getting your lighting from PSL. Who's PSL? Link to comment
mhossom Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 How many pounds of the coraline would you get for a 20H Link to comment
gobies Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Probably 20 or 30, depending on the pieces and shipping costs. Email or call Dale at Gulf-View and tell him what you've got for a setup. Link to comment
