Where to get large base rock when setting up a new large reef?

[jprime84]

I have plenty of live rock in my 20g to seed my 75g. I want to find some good sized pieces of rock so I am not just piling up a bunch of small chunks. It doesn't have to be live rock. Regular dry large pieces that are porous and whatnot are fine. Other than a LFS does anyone have any tried and true resources online for large rock purchases?

I've used Marco and have some BRS now.

I would recommend cleaning it first.

 

Unless you're into that whole long and drawn out cycle thing.

I just ordered from Marco. How did you clean yours?

[siwelk]

The Marco I had, I did a diluted muriatic acid bath.

The BRS I have now I just did a few 2:1 vinegar baths.

 

This includes various stages of soaking and scrubbing in Tap/RODI.

I'd get a medium hardness wire brush or something too.

You'll find plenty of #### you don't want in the DT.

BRS Pukani + a large rubbermaid vat + heater + powerhead + saltwater + 8 weeks = good stuff.
