    I have probably over 700 lbs of dry rock sitting in my basement. I can't hold on to this stuff anymore, at least not all of it.


    I have pieces ranging in size from rubble rock to larger than a watermelon. Type varies also, quite a bit.


    Over the weekend I will be sorting, weighing, grading the rock. Rock price will be per pound and by grade. Then I will be updating this thread with pictures and then it's a free-for-all.


    Some of this will go to Boone, and I know that Nick needs some.


    If anyone else wants in on this, reply or subscribe to this thread so you will get the update when I post.

    I'm interested in some possibly. Fiji rock preferred for my new 75 gal setup, around 100lbs.

    Wasn't planning on it but that's not a bad idea.

    I would be interested in some larger pieces, around 80lbs. What do you have for prices?

    I am interested in some medium to medium-large pieces, probably around 50-60 lbs. Similar to everyone else, what price range are you asking for the rock? The next couple weekends I'm driving from Omaha to IC and can stop on my way.

    I will be deciding on prices over the weekend, as posted in the O.P., price will depend on grade (i.e. "coolness" of the piece). I find the best way to do this is to let my 11 yr old daughter tell me which ones she thinks are cool and which ones are boring. Of course, then she want to keep them.

    Might as well pack some up and try to sell it. You've already got the booth space.


    I'd probably be interested in some. I'm working on a 47 bowfront to put upstairs.

    I'm getting ready to set up a 40 br. And would like 2 or 3 bigger structure or base rocks.

    I'd be interested in some pieces. Trying to redo a 40br and the rocks currently there are too large for what I'm wanting. Keep me posted.
