I ordered tonga fusion rock from this website: Welcome to Pacific East Aquaculture
Once you order they will call you and ask what size pieces you want. I asked for football sized pieces and some smaller ones and that is what they gave me. The delivery cost was $30 since they are on the east coast. I would definitely buy from them again.

Zoalord is your tank brand new still cycling if so I would recomend Marco Rocks The finest aquarium rock available, base rock, live rock, reef rock, marco rock, reef tank saltwater fish, live corals, Marco rocks, Fiji live rock, Tonga Live rock purchase some dead rock cycle it in the tank and add 1/2 lb of LR from your LFS to seed it. You will save big $$$$$$$ I love my LR heres a pics before and after 6 months. This stuff is awsome huge pieces small pieces large from 24x12 ya big. what ever you want just have to tell them. I would recomend them to any one starting a tank and a budget is in mind.

Thanks for the good tips all around. Since my present tank has been established I also often check out my LFStores for individual choice pieces of LR with great luck finding some unique shapes and sizes + resulting fauna + flora (so far all good for reef). I am picky but if I keep it up I may end up with a LROT - live rock only tank if I'm not careful.

I am re-aquascaping and definitely doing the MarcoRock thing. The selection was awesome. I'm keeping one or two of my choice pieces to seed the DR.
