No good live rocks here in atlanta!!!!!!
Hello fellow reefers! Is it just me or is it almost impossible to find good live rocks anywhere nowadays? I'm only looking for something to fill my 2.5g. Everything looks bleached. What do you guys suggest? Maybe I should just get small frags that are attached to rocks. Heck...those rocks stink too!
The world is ending...noooooooooo!!!

The world market for marine organisms, including liverock seems to ebb and flow like the tide. For nearly a year I lusted for a frag of orange M. capricornis, not available except in photos. Then, suddenly, it seemed to be available everywhere. So I bought one!
Live rock here at the two shops easily accessible to me both have pretty pitiful liverock right now too. If you can, I'd just wait and all of a sudden everyone will have beautiful stuff again. got to make frequent visits to the lfs, though. As if that's a hardship.

You could always look for some nice pieces of dry base rock (Hirocks). Then find a few pieces of coraline encrusted rubble and use that to seed the base rock...in a few months you'll have some LR with coraline starting to grow on it and you can use the rubble for mounting coral frags.

I bought some lr from the Petco over in Duluth and was VERYY happy with it.
LFS here in Alpharetta had UNCURED LR which helped my cycle...but I wouldn't use it for anything else.

PetLand in Duluth always has good LR. (Not petco)
Unless they recently got some in, it's cured ready to go.

Are you a member of the Atlanta reef club? Cause if you are, you get 30% off at Marine Fish on Johnson Ferry road. I just bought 16 pounds there. It isn't that bad.
So it cost I think $5.99 lb.
