Rock Price Increase

[Skep18]

I see rock prices went up 13% for 50lb orders and everything has been on backorder for weeks now. I'm just curious, is this temporary or permanent?

I was going to order a couple weeks ago a couple hundred pounds but hesitated as I was concerned the backorder would turn into an extended delay situation. I was waiting for the backorder status to subside. Regrets...

If Your speakig of live rock, I think they closed down another popular area for LR collection. There is Florida bay & tbs rock.

I'm just taking about dry rock sold by Reef Cleaners. But good info to know.

With the massive amount of banning on exportation, I would expect the prices to slowly keep rising

I believe the indo ban is effecting lr prices.

Might check out Billy's reef connection, I didn't compare prices between the two, but I was happy with the rock I received.

I just heard back from Reef Cleaners via email. They said it's temporary to work down their backlog. Just keep checking for the old price.

Just temporary! Just want to get rid of this backorder thing. No rock, tons of algae. Usually the opposite issue. One day they will join forces and be in stock at the same time.
