Unless i missed something Eco-friendly is about sustaining our ecosystem with a safe way of doing things. Is the rock put into the ocean for a length of time then removed ? cause that kinda looked like dead coral... hope it was dead before they pulled it out
Rocks like these are lying all over the beach! They get wash up buy storms. There were pieces of "dead rock" on the beach in Maui big enough to aqua-scape one side of my aquarium. LOL I would stand there and imagine where I would mount corals if I could take it home.

Wow, that's quite a bit. I was quoted $60 for shipping 50lbs. I'm surprised by the $73.50, what did they say that was for, it's definately higher than the 5% GST.

Myka, In response to your question, Tom ordered over $200 ($259) so he got wacked by all the brokerage fees. If you look at their site, they have samples and the sample without the break on brokerage is 6x the cost. Gotta keep it under $200 or these guys get too expensive to justify.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I thought he made two separate orders. Bummer for him, that's an extra $50+.

When we ordered, did you just pay the $10, plus 5% GST at the door, or?
