I'm looking to fill my 220-gallon aquarium, but I can't find much in terms of colonies or pre-built garden torches or acros. Any suggestions on getting bigger pieces?
 
Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and Craigslist sellers near you may be hobbyist that are selling larger items from home, than online commercial retailers and LFSs that are just fragging everything into bit size bits.
 
For a little context, shipping a large colony would like end in that colony breaking during shipping. I shipped a huge bubblegum digitata colony and it was in pieces when it got to it's destination. The person used the frags and it worked out fine, but just letting you know it doesn't work well.

You could also check your LFS. My LFS has several display tanks and in one of them they chop up huge pieces of their acros to sell when they need a haircut. I've also seen them just chop the top of a lantana digitata and sell the whole huge top.
