Would like to trade for Rock Rubble

[2639]

If anyone has any rock rubble to part with, I certainly could use some for my sump :D

I live in Chattanooga TN and I would pay all shipping and handling costs assuming they aren't too high :D

I have a Coralife RO unit that I am not using..It does NOT have a new membrane or filters but I have the old ones that can be used to locate others.

I don't know a lot about these things in general and the cartridges may be simply replaced with a generic type. Also, see this thread:
http://www.coralforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=7100...Igot information where to buy some.

I would like to receive approximately 20 bucks worth of live-rock rubble in return. I'll let you be the decider of what constitutes that amount :D

I will post pictures later when I get a chance :D
Thanks for looking!

I almost forgot...I can be contacted at (Andrew (at) abrichardson (dot) com)

I'm sure you all know why I formatted it like that ;)

just buy a bad peice of lr form your LFS and hit it with a hammer, should give youe plenty of LR Rubble.

Agree with Tim... :)

[2639]

You know?...I thought of that but didn't know if it was a good idea or not. :D Rock at my LFS is 10 and 20 bucks a pound..(I assume uncured/cured?)
I went earlier and asked for some and bought about two handful's of rubble. Nice white, maroon, and some pink coraline. Plus a little vegitation.

I'll still be willing to trade cause I don't need this ro unit. :D

Wow...that is awful pricy live rock???? I see it for 4-6 dollars a pound all over!!!

[2639]

Tell me about it!!! That's why I am looking at other options...I believe in supporting my local business but I feel like I'm gouged when i go in the door. LOL It's Gulf Rock too..NOT pretty at all.

We have others around (four total in the immediate area), but they are just as crappy.

Try http://www.hirocks.com/

I may know of someone local to me that has about half a ton of coral rubble that was purchased from Hirocks.com. I was looking for some recently and was told to check with him. I have just sent him an e-mail and will get back to you on what I find out. How much are you looking for?

[2639]

Just enuff to maybe cover an egg crate about 8X8 inches square. It was suggested to me in another thread that it's possible to smash a LR with a hammer and simply make rubble LOL My goal for my sump is to have LR or LRRubble and plenty of macro. Over time, I want to put more and more. That is, of course, if it won't put the bio load out of whack.

2639,

How many GPH is the unit?

[2639]

That's one thing I'm unsure of. I paid 100 bucks for it back in 97. It's a coralife and it has no model name, number, nothing. I'm assuming it is the cheapest they make. I didn't make a lot of money back then so I'm sure I bought the least expensive LOL

I got 60 lbs of rock from hirocks and it was 45 bucks total. and it came in great sizes. I was concerned because the box was all beat up, but I got some great peices which were big along with alot of smallr peices. I highly recommend them!!

[2639]

Is that rock live or simply base rock? Is is natural or home made?

[Gryz]

It is dry Base Rock, but still looks great over time...

[tabby]

mine has done great since i got it....it takes off very well.

[icereefer]

if your looking for Live base rock. http://www.liverocks.com/
has nice base rock and it's Live. I got some from zack it had nice coraline,crabs,shrimp, sponges, oysters, ect,ect on it. but for the price it would be easier to take a hammer to there base rock then the 10 bucks a LBS you get locally.
