    Has any one ever ordered fish from The Marine Center at  wwwthemarinecenter.com.. I'm wanting to buy a Navarcus Angel and a Semilavartus Golden Butterfly from them.  I was just wondering if they are reputable and have high quality specimens.  Please let me know.  Thanks!  Oh! 1 more question.  Whats the best place to buy live rock online.  All the LFS here sell live rock,  but not much ever grows on it and I have spoke with many people in the area and they have had the same experience as me.

    saltwaterfish.com has 25lbs liverock for like $110 including shipping.  It is not the best, but it gets the job done.

    I'm looking for Live Rock that has the most varied life on it, any other suggestions. Also if you havent been to the marine centers web site for online fish check it out. They have one of the largest varieties of Angels, Butterfly's and Triggers including rare and hard to find specimens.

    I bought about 80 pounds of liverock from  http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com for $5 a pound and some baserock for $2 a pound, and the base rock looked as good as some of the LFS $8 a pound stuff.
    The problem I felt with buying this type of rock was that there was so much life on it I didn't have any place to put the corals I purchased without covering something up. Sounds funny doesn't it. I realize now that If I had to do it over again I would buy less of the Deco rock and more of the base. I just want more coralline growth right now.

    Thanks for the thread to tampabaysaltwater.com, the pictures of their live rock looks awesome. I think I will give them a try, all their rock looks like it is teaming with life, although they are a little bit pricey. Did you buy florida rock or gulf rock? Thanks!

    I went to their store on a Saturday and picked out what I wanted... I think it was mostly keys rock and some gulf rock. Not much help I know, but, I didn't mail order.
