Why Not King Eds?
I went in there a month ago and bought 70 lbs of cuban and fiji Love rock for really cheap.
They gave me 2 bucks off a pound so i was paying 5.99 for the fiji and 4.00 for the cuban.
The rock I got had a tonne of life on it from a colony of pistol shrimps (so cool to watch) to 4 or 5 different kinds of algae.
I have seen two crabs as well but I'll get them eventually.
The rock I bought had just arrived the day I got to the store but I am now testing 0 nitrate, 0 nitrate and almost 0 ammonia and I have only been cycling for a month.
I looked at JL and Big Als as well as OA before buying and i went for the store that would deal for cash and had the most selection which was kind eds.
my 2 cents.
cheers.

Have gotten nice live rock from King Eds, and Hidden Reef. Was at J+L on Sunday, they didnt have much..what was left was ok I guess..They have had nice stuff before though. Guess it depends on when you catch them.

They have no website, sort of a huge mom and pop operation.

So, Whatigot, does that mean your tank is cycled and ready for livestock?

BTW, Pet Zoo in Langely has nice Indonesian live rock that came in a week ago. Very nice. I paid $6.49/lb as a member of BCAquaria.

It certainly looks that way.
Gonna test every day this week and if all stays within parameters, I'm going to start stocking livestock (fish first, coral later).
