Does anyone know where I can buy live rock like this? Or Australian live rock that isn’t sold out? I’ve tried numerous places for Australian and can’t seem to find it anywhere in stock.
I am also having trouble finding the primo deco live rock that isn’t sold out. I don’t need much of it.
Unique corals said they might have a shipment come in next week. But I don’t want to have to rely on that and not be able to buy it if it sells out fast. If any of y’all can point me in the right direction. It would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately. Gulf live rock only offers more than what I need and is currently out of stock with a package that I was looking at. KP aquatics is currently closed/not accepting orders until January 10th

Another plug for Gulf Live Rock and Tampa Bay Saltwater. But it's winter and the holidays, so most places are closed for a couple of weeks and shipping is tricky this time of year until temps are well above freezing. It could take some time.

I picked a terrible time to be searching for this then. Lol
I’ve been looking for a few weeks before I decided to make this thread.
should’ve done this in the summer months!

Get the Premium rock from www.tbsaltwater.com
Waters are cooling down though this time of year. Might not be quite as amazing now as it is in the warmer months.

End of the year is a bad time for shipping anything. Earlier this month I picked up rock from Gulf, KP, and Unique. You should have better luck the first of the year. You can search my previous post to see some pictures from each. I have a thread on my cryptic sump.

At 25 a pound at unqiue I don’t think they will sell out that fast :p

They did the last round they posted. I purchased ~20 lbs myself. I spend way more on corals, that spending $500 on rock is a drop in the bucket to ensure I have biodiversity to keep a successful tank.

If you're not looking for alot. Try the "treasure chest" packages from TBS. I have one coming in on the 11th that I plan on maintaining in a bucket under light and occasional feeding. I'm storing it for when I'm ready for another tank it'll just be going to the bucket and pulling out what I need. I just started my nano with the aussie stuff from unique and it's amazing. Just plain flat luck for me. I saw where they posted up what seemed to be about 15lbs of small stuff and rubble and I scooped up 5lbs. The rest was sold out the next day. I kept their site up on my desktop at work for a month refreshing it several times a day.

Sure do. Keep in mind. This is the unique corals rock. Not the TBS treasure chest. I don't want to hijack this thread. If you'd like more detailed pictures they're in my nano journal.

Talking about TBS rock and Aussie one, I ordered both and Aussie had mostly coralline and some halimeda on it, but no other stuff, like sponges, bryozoans or tunicates, but reading threads here some reefers hate sponges and other stuff on their rock.
