I bought 30 lbs. of this same rock about 3 months ago. I just gave them a scrub, rinsed them very well and added them straight into the tank on top of the 70 lbs of live rock that was already there. I tested for ammonia every day, and there was no spike at all. Phosphates and nitrates were also not detectable.

Got mine today nice stuff, two kinds. Has anyone done a weight change from dried vs wet?

Very happy, good mix of pieces none really small, package well with almost no breakage!@!!!Yep 10 dollar brokerage, got two exactlly the same orders but paid two different amounts.

ya ok, at some point there gonna run out of "rock on the beach" which i might add is still alive acting as homes for different type of critters and crabs. At that point they will be pulling them out of somewhere.

Its funny how we have to pay money for something mother nature makes for free. Talk about a no overhead buisness.
