chimera Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 if you can wait for 2 weeks until Steve gets back from Fiji, send him a PM (jetskisteve) He has a contact "Chris" who is breaking down his tank and has some really good (12 yrs old) live rock full of corraline algae. At $10/kg its well priced and good value for money. I bought 12kg's off him (as have many others already) Last I saw there were still some good bits left. Alternately, PM "Nicks" as I believe he knows him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 The rocks I got weren't half bad. About 30-40 tubeworms, a handful of some dark brown...Thingies. And I just about 30 seconds ago discovered a little bitty starfish about 3/4 inch across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimera Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 you're lucky, i had 1 piece infested with aptasia which cost me another $25 to buy some salifert "aptasia exit" to kill the buggers... a few little goodies too though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I brought rock from Steve. Having seen'Chris" tank before I knew it was good rock. I brought 40kg. I had a few Aipstasia (arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) and a LOT of Marjano Anemones. I hope I don't get back from holiday and find out thats all that survived! Overall at $10 per KG its cheaper than buying dead white rock from a pet shop, and its ready to go. Get in while the getting good.

Ira Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Marjano anemones? Got a picture of them? Can't find anything on google. Though, it does say, "Did you want to search for marijuana anemone?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 My spelling is off (surprise!). Majano. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/otherpstanemfaqs.htm Its the first time I have had them, but many people have problems with them much worse the aipstasia. Although they are quite pretty.
