Thanks!

Thanks!

you can try CF (coral farm) nice coraline encrusted rock but going at a premium (slightly less than two red notes per kg)

rocks are from overseas like tonga thats why so expensive

[arcanehacker]

yes.. around $16/kg... its pretty standard for these kind of rocks

C.F. assure that their L.R. has no hitchhiker, so no problem with pest like crabs and worms.

I got some very good quality rock from 1 aquarium at pasir ris. Lots of coralline, fancy worms, small crabs, etc.

Unfortunately it was quite hard to remove the crabs and macroalgae so a lot of other things died while cycling. If I had prepared beforehand, there would have been incredible diversity in the rock.

I got my rocks from CF, with nice coraline algae, no crabs and worms seen so far. But burn big hole in pocket.

Thanks all! May give it a try. I wonder do they offer delivery service for live rocks?

[chtan23]

Give them a call? They will pack all the rocks in styrofoam boxes for you. Worst case call a taxi? Afterall, taxi fare is nothing compare to the rock cost

Yeah.. I was thinking that too.. How can they really proclaim that.. unless they go through all the process of drying the rock for weeks till everything dies , then put it in a rocks only tank and cultivate the coraline.
