looking to buy some holey rock for my 55 gallon cichlid tank. must be hipped unless you know of any in the NY area any help would be great
 
if youre open to suggestions... i suggest reef rock or marine base rock... which can be found at any descent lfs. its not as heavy, just as alkaline if not more, and hella lot cheaper $2-3/lb rather than $3-6 for THR... just throwing that out there... also saves on shipping :D
 
I was not only doing the holey rock for a ph buffer but i liked they way it could look in my tank i am looking to get rid of the cichlid stone in the right corner and looking to make the tank a little more attractive being that it is in the bedroom any suggestions

There are some sellers on ebay but for the nice big pieces the shipping cost might be high. I would think you should be able to find some in a mom and pop type LFS in your area though.
 
here's what the one I suggested looks like.... this is in my bedroom Ironically...:ROFL:

I prefer the more natural look and for some reason THR just doesnt look that natural to me... good luck with the search... have you tried Atlantis aquatics .... I beleive theyre in NY... Never dealt with them... but known some who have...
