Purchasing LR from Big Als
 
Just wondering if anyone has any experiences from buying LR from Big Als in Calgary.

You have PM.

Unless your desperate try and buy from other reefers, you will get better rock at better prices. I always see LR in the classifieds here on Canreef.

I bought 2 pieces out of their displays because I loved them so much. I literally boiled both. I can 100% garantee my rock is pest free =)

I will never buy anything from them after seeing they had 2 octopus's and 1 big and 2 med eel's in hamster balls. The eel and the one large octopus were so confined they couldn't even move. I sure some other people seen that in burn.

Was it the same price as the live rock in the bins? Ive seen some real nice pieces in their displays as well.

Yeah which means it wasn't cheap. Both rocks were like $150. But they get somebeautiful rock there and the employees like to put thenicest ones in displays. Wish they had dry rock. Wish anyone local did.

yup I saw that too. Did you notice that one of the octos was a BLUE RING? unbelievable.

OP yeah I agree with those that boil their LR from big al's. I bought two small pieces and left them on the deck to die for a week. If possible though, check with other reefers for usually better rock at usually better prices.
