35Kg Ocean /malawi Rock For Sale Or Exchange!

[woody88]

Not sure if this is the right section but anyway, I have a large box containing around 35kg of ocean rock with some lovely large and small pieces. The rock is chalky when new so will need a really good scrub. There are loads of different pieces large and small and not just a couple of large heavy pieces which make up the majority of the weight ( like you get on eBay) there is also one piece of rock which is quite large and has a hole going through the middle of it (natural not drilled) and can be used as a nice center piece of Any tropical/Cichlid setup.
3 pieces of the rock have been used already and where in my tank for about 3 months before I decided to go slate.

I paid £60 for it all on eBay 5 months ago so £30 for it all and it can go or I will swap for a new api reefmaster test kit. (Kit must have amm,trite,trate,ph,kh,phos and calcium if poss)

Collection only ( Birmingham)

The above pic shows all the rock [there are loads of smaller pieces or rock in the white sack at the bottom]


Below are pics of the two largest pieces [full of large holes/caves]

Can also be used as base rock for Marine/Salt water setups as rock is very porous [will sustain life/bacteria]

If anyone interested please reply to this post or email me from my profile.
Can email pic if needed. Cheers

Hi mate. If for what ever reason I can't shift it in a week or 2 then I would be willing to meet half way down the M40 [Banbury/oxford] But it would have to be for an API reefmaster test kit + a salifert phosphate test. Under £30.
Would be more of an incentive to get my #16##### in the car and drive an hour down the M40 lol

Hi, Like I said mate If cash then would prefer collection ideally, as my car is a right gas guzzler would be willing to go as far as Leamington for cash. Sorry if it sounds petty. Check the pics out tommorow first anyway! Cheers mate.

Hi. I do apologise about pics but i'm not getting home from work till late so will have them up on here in the next day or 2. Thanks

Forgot to say I no longer require a test kit in exchange so just £30 for the rock.

Hi mate, thanx for the offer on this, would love to take it off ya hands, just what i'm after but just been looking at distance on google map
looks like a 4hr round trip for me to you. which with my cost of fuel in my big old van, this isn't going to make it worth my while.
i do somethimes head your way in evenings. but don't have anything planned for the near future,

many thanx
