View Full Version : Holey Rock?

Has anybody seen any lg. pieces with decent sized swim throughs?? I'd like one good size chunk to put in the 55, maybe 1' tall and 1½' long. I realize the length is stretching it a bit so I'd be willing to make that up with two pieces but I prefer just one.
I used to get it from EA but I've been disappointed by their selection for a while now.
Thank you

Let me know if you find any Misty. I am needing some large ones myself. Mine are fairly small for the large tank its in.

I am actually about to purchase some driftwood through this ebay vendor. I have spoke with him a bit and he has very good feedback. Everything seems to be priced correctly and he has a vast selection.

Good save Blake. We don't need anyone getting ripped off on buying those....especially after you add in shipping!
Misty....I will get some pics up soon. I went with SMS in the big tank and took out all the holey rock. Just natural stones and darker stones went back in along with driftwood.
Were you still looking for holey rock?? Anyways, if not, no biggie.
Misty
02-27-2008, 03:24 PM
Yep, I sure am. I don't know if David is or not though, lol.

I can fit a size 11 inside each of these and getting them in my 180g was so much fun.....
supersmirky
03-02-2008, 06:15 PM
Pardon Brandy. I knew it was big!! lol I forgot it was 300g big!! But you just bought a 180 recently and then another 75g recently right??
bra8ndy8

Whoops. Hard to keep up with your tanks. So I wonder who picked up the acrylic 180 then.

03-03-2008, 10:14 AM
Blake and I have acrylic 180 tanks. Are you thinking of one of us?
supersmirky
03-03-2008, 10:25 AM
phhttt...who knows. I claim temporary insanity. LOL
The tank I am thinking of was more of a room divider. Meant for one side of the tank to be against a wall...is that yours??
tsunderl
03-03-2008, 10:38 AM
Could be.... This is it before it was setup.

I have one large 90lb piece of holey rock in it that actually wasn't too bad to put in. Just handed it to someone who was on a stepladder and had muscles to put it in the tank before water was added. Wasn't a Kodak moment. lol
And how dare you get me and Brandy mixed up!!! http://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/neptune/Animated/Angry/angry040.gif

no worries from here... you shown to be an active contributor to the board and now even a Sponsor.
We were having a minor issue with fly by sellers...
Welcome!
biggin
07-10-2008, 08:24 AM
There was never an issue, the first thought was you might be a fly-by seller and typically the community does not take kindly to them. You have always been great about communication and are an active member.
No worries....
I will try to get you some pics soon, with getting ready for the back surgery I have not been doing much tank work.

Blake and I were swapping fish the other day and we were talking about a guy that had posted on another forum who said he could turn people on to sites to get free holey rock. I had been searching for it and finally found it doing a search on google(is there anything they dont know about me??)
