Half the rock in my tank is from there.
No, I don't want any dry/eco/dead rock. Just live.

Technically its live since those are ocean cured for a long time. I didn't face any problem of typical dry rocks. My tank didn't even go through the initial cycle. And he ships like live rock.

Where did you get the rock from? What are they willing to do to make it right?

I have to pursue that before I publicly get into it. The rock came through my LFS via one of our sponsors.

Currently discussing with Walt Smith, who is suggesting he sent no such order. So this appears to be re-boxed LA rock. Or rather, rubble.

Ugh, you have ALL the bad luck! Don't bother with lotto tickets - you won't win anyway! In all seriousness, I think Walt Smith will be good to deal with over this matter.

Yes, the lottery thing isn't working out well either.

Walt has been great, and is sending replacement rock to Van. I have to cover it to the Island, but not a big deal.
Since I have rock here already, I can't really send it back to Fiji, so selling that, and everyone involved is eating a bit of cost, probably me included. Perhaps not, if I can work out one more good deal with someone starting a large tank that needs some seed rock. We'll see..
It's not a perfect solution, but reasonable, given the circumstances.
