Live Rock
 

I am seriously thinking about buy Live Rock from Ocean Aquatics. Is there anyone that has had experience ording LR from Ocean Aquatics. I would also like to know if I should have it shipped by air or if bus is just as good.

Looking for any and all opinions.

Where are you shipping it to?

St. Albert, Alberta. That is 5km North West of Edmonton.

I have had lots of live rock shipped from Vancouver. The best way is to fly it however I have had it sent on the bus as well. This time of year you are probably fine shipping by bus but remember it is going to be out of the water for that much longer so you will have more die off. I have done it both ways (bus and air) and both were fine - just be prepared for a longer cycle if you ship by bus.
OA has great live rock and I would not hesitate to buy from them.
Cost out both ways and then decide - if it is a lot of rock you might find that you are spending $5-$600 on live rock and then trying to save $50 on shipping - it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Thanks Ruth, I think you have an excellent point. I am looking at purching about 100lbs for my 72 gal tank. I cannot wait to start aquascaping.

OA has awesome live rock. real primo pieces and i havent had to ship because i live in the vacinity but from what i read wendell is good at packaging his products

I picked up approx. 100 pounds of cured Jakarta LR.....awesome shapes,and sizes. I have been super impressed with the different corralines that have thrived.....great place to buy from too! Wendell and staff are friendly and knowledgable!

I ended up ordering 52lbs of live rock from OA. When I finally made up my mind the order was on a plane and in my hands the very next day. Incredible service answering all my newbie questions and responding to my e-mails promptly.

Thanks Wendell, I know I will be ordering more product from you in the near future.
