EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I want to make a purely hitchhiker tank. I already have pretty much everything laying around, except for a heater and sand. Does anyone know much about this company? They say that there rock guarantees to come with a bunch of hitchhikers. Anyone know somewhere better? Or if this is good? I only need like 5 pounds of it, so I wanted to buy it in single pieces instead of bulk. Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Are they local to you? If not, shipping would be expensive to preserve life. Quote Link to comment
hotdrop Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Shipping fast enough to keep a lot of life in it is 100$ up to some minimum weight so it’s gonna cost at least that Quote Link to comment
Privateer Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Craigslist is the best way to find live rock full of nasty hitchhikers if that’s what ya want. Quote Link to comment

I only needed like 5 pounds, I don’t think shipping would be too much for 5 pounds Quote Link to comment

If your ship out if water overnight is generally 40-50 bucks but more die off. Quote Link to comment
