i am thinking of getting some LR from j&l would anyone else want to get a few pieces, maybe we can fill a whole box or so? I really want to go for some of the branch rock, it looks really nice, but quite expensive.

I am in for a few pieces of nice porous stuff like Fiji.

That branch rock looks really cool, would like to get a couple of pieces and see if its really that good...

Not as porous as the regular rock - would it be considered good for biological filtration still?? Isn't it the porosity that makes it useful? All the branch I've seen and have is very solid, compared to Fiji or Tonga.

I was thinking about that too. I might get a few pieces of that branch stuff, but that will depend on how much mad money I have at the time of the order. Probably not too much (I don't know how you guys do it all the time??? Can you let me in on the secret of the bottomless pit of money used to fund the hobby???) ;)

As far as I know it is the porosity that gives a surface for the bacteria to colonise. The more porosity, the more surface area. Hence Fiji is better.

Up to 10 pounds, and one Royal Grama if available.

I'm in as well, and a coral question.
 
Hey there,

Now that Jon has helped me get my tank into top form, I would be in for an order as well. A cleaner shrimp, some conch's (if available), and yes I think I'm ready......

Some coral!! Speaking of which, I would need some help in selecting the most suitable one for my set-up. Jon, you out there??

Thanks
Jason

I emailed J&L with my order and they were unaware that this was pending (OK Tony had talked to them). On the last order I had each person contact J&L direcly and they billed separately and evenly distributed the shipping charges. It worked quite well. spikehs you might want to consider this as well.
