i was wondering if anyone knows of any good lfs that sell live rock, somewhere around albany, montreal, or burlington vt. thanx guys

There are 3 places in the capital district. Something's fishy in Scotia, Union Aquarium in Schenectady, and Eddie's Aquarium in Latham. They all sell LR for around $7-8 per lb.

thanx! any of them have a web site? i would be coming from plattsburgh ny, about a 2 hour drive from albany

Eddiesaqua.com, but there's not much there. Any questions I can answer, I go to these places all the time!

hehe, like i said, i would be coming from 2 hours away, so i was thinking of buying a few pounds, maybe enough to fit in a 5 gallon bucket. would i need to bring my own water to store them in?what do they have in stock now. anything worthwhile?

 

[Sregnar35]

Your best bet would be to call to find out what's in stock, i've seen them seel 70 to 80lbs in one day.Eddies is 518-783-3474, try them first.

is there live rock normally nice? the live rock thats sold up here thats 8$ a pound tends to have almos no hitchhikers on it what so ever. i bought 2 pounds at 10.50, discounted because im a good customer, it was originally 13.99 lb. it is very nice though, tons or coraline algea, anemones, and cant wait to see what else is on it. so i guess im asking you if you would drive two hours for it

thanx

I can't say, I've never bought from them, and it's hard to spot hitchhikers while you are in the store, they all look very good though.You can def see feather dusters and coralline algae.
