Brad's 100 'n Change Cube-like Journal

[Aquattro]

Well, my new rock showed up today, and mostly disappointed. I have 2 full boxes of baseball sized rocks. I think there are 3 rocks between the boxes that I can use
All very nice rock if I had a 20g tank, but I can't build any kind of structure with it. I'm calling it rubble. Anyone thinking of getting fresh rock, don't order Walt Smith Premium, unless you need a box of baseballs. Very unhappy right now and not sure where to go from here.

Just your luck with this build eh? Sorry to hear that. Keep your head up.

Ya, exactly my thoughts. Not a good year for me. Now I'm out many hundreds of dollars and stuck with a bunch of rock I can't use.

No idea. It's ridiculous. Probably 30 rocks in a 50lb box. Should have been 7 or 8, specifically asked and was told yes, I'd get large pieces. To fully cover how I'm feeling right now, I'd have to go disable the language filters!

I can't say this is all round, some nice shapes, but mostly 2lb or less in size. Perfect for smaller tanks I guess, but useless for me. Now I'm stuck with almost 90 pounds that I can't use.

Wow.. I can almost feel your frustration from here. I would be PO'ed too! This hobby is hard and expensive enough as it is.. but when they send you a box that's hundreds of dollars worth of lemons.. well, #$# ^$%#$ @#*& #@$%?!@# $ !

I don't know whether it will be of any help at this point but trying eco reef rock (the guy is from halifax) might be worth a shot. You will be directly dealing with the guy who will be sending you the rocks so you can specifically ask for proper pieces. Those are man made ocean cured rocks and I started with them. Half the rock in my tank is from there.

Ya, pretty much.
