I look at it this way if I'm going to buy Rock I'm going to go where there is the cheaper price, end of bitching, come on people support your local vendors if they arent doing it right thing teach them. Don't bitch about it fix it. wow too much complaining, until you have a head dollar of 100,000K to play with (zip it) its nothing worst then someone bitching to get posts or just to be heard. just to make a statement. sorry folks to many people here trying to make a name for them selfs. I understand that people can't make t he proper business or thatthey dont have enought money. But come on they are making a statment or trying to help out.. give them a chance.

I think some people like their live rock fairly dead and clean (except for bacteria), and some like it with more life. When I got mine some months ago, I decided to try an experiment. I controlled the spikes with prime to preserve as much life as possible. (and yes, my tank still did cycle...it is 6 months old and doing super). Now I have some zoos, sponges, tons of coraline algae and lots of feather dusters. One has a 2" span and is one of my favorite things in my tank. I did have the side affect of a few unwanted hitchhikers, but you have to take the bad with the good. I've caught most of them.

But yeah, this thread got way too serious. Just let people do what they want.

What I find really amusing is how someone will complain about a vendors live rock but then later state they buy used rock and wouldn't buy new rock anyway because it's too expensive. Now that's funny.

Have to agree with the recent turn this thread took, what vendors do will always vary and in the end who cares! If you have to cure some stuff a little longer, so what, and I really have a hard time understanding preserving everything on the rock, most of this would be problematic anyway. Wipe it out and start over but to each his/her own which is why no vendor will ever be able to satisfy the believes of every customer. So quit complaining!

I can't believe Myka that your local vendors are not doing exactly what you want to get the business that you cannot find second hand somewhere for a better price. I think they are missing a major revenue stream from this "can't find elsewhere cheaper" business!!!!

Why are you guys all getting so caught up and peed off by this thread?? I don't understand why it's a big deal...?? Maybe I should have worded it differently. Sorry I thought you guys could be my bitching coffee buddies. I guess I will have to keep it to my bitching coffee buddies. Seriously though, you guys are way too serious.
