Just an oldie!

Hi all. I am having a dilemma. I've used Tampa Bay Saltwater aquaculture live rock since it became available. Is there another source of fresh live rock in Florida.
I know of one dealer of Atlantic rock in the keys but have only used them for 1 piece of cherry picked to add an additional element to everything in the Gulf rock.
Anyone got any ideas?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! You may find this thread helpful:

Gulf Live rock or Salty Bottom?

Has anyone ever got any rocks from either of these? And if so how are they? And I notice they both have "Premium" rock and just "coralline". Would I still get some good life with just the coralline option? Im not really interested in all the plants ect that I see on the "Premium". It says...

Welcome!

Glad you joined, but going to defer to others on aquacultured and/or other live rock.

I have salty bottom and gulf live rock in my tank. Both are great. Depending on what you want one might be a little better for you.

Welcome to R2R!!! Good question. I’m on the hunt for some maricultured rock as well. Hadn’t even heard of salty bottom.

also, love the name lol

I had a good experience with Gulf Live Rock but have heard others had issues with communication. I’d reach out to Daniel who owns and runs GLR and let him know you would like to place a order. I believe a lot of times he’s out on the boat and that’s why communication can be patchy. Discuss directly with him on when he would be able to ship the amount you want to purchase. You living in Florida could probably run by some of these places and pick for yourself in their holding tanks or have a cheap next day delivery.....Stuff last year was beautiful!
