New rocks :)

[KahluaZzZ]

got my shipment..4$/pound no tax....yeaaah direct from the island

 

[S.Reef]

Nice...has some great color.

 

[zoalover34]

where did you order from, how much was shipping and how much did you get? lol alot of questions! looks nice

 

[CoolWaters]

isnt there a lot of die-off when u ship live rocks?
so why are the fishes in there?

unless its been cured?


hey its direct? tell us if theres any nice or rare hitchhikers.

 

[KahluaZzZ]

shipping was included in the price..only took 20 pounds/80$ total of nui and 2 tonga branch. I ordered it via a guy here, he ordered a big shipment and 20 pounds came to my door directly the day he received it. I asked him for 12-13 pounds but he gave me more so..that's why the 4$/pound..a very cool
deal. Was kind of a one shot deal but..for a little more you can get the same rock at ReefSolution Magasin En Ligne: Live Rock -Tonga ''Nui''- (+30Lb)

Looks like nice rock

 

[IDunnoWhy]

Awesome looking rock!!

I'm a SW noob, so take my "Rock Quality Judgement" with a grain of sand LOL

 

[TRe]

great deal.. id definitly jump on it if i had the opportunity

 

[KahluaZzZ]

Idunnowhy>> this rock has very cool shapes ( i took the pics on the wrong side ) and they can stick togheter easiliy. They have a lot of stuff on it, wich i really like. The only thing is..it's not as porous as other HQ rocks so it's kinda heavy.

 

[Mushroomman]

Sweet deal, man! Looks like some decent rock, great price too.

It certainly looks cool! Forgive the newb question but, what kind of rock is it?

 

[KahluaZzZ]

coolwaters : yes there is die-off...but the rock doesn't smell so bad. I've put 50% of the rock in the sump, after a powerhead/toothbrush clean of what could have been rotting outside. I already have 130 pounds of rock and there is no noticeable ammonia.. in a 113g of water ..just to be cautious i added a polyfilter pad to remove all sort of crap...plus it changes color if there is ammonia. So..the 2 damsels are in the tank, but the whole thing isn't really cycling. For that low % of new rock it's safe.

 

[KahluaZzZ]

it's "nui" live rock..near fiji...

 

[KahluaZzZ]

dang i hope lr can stand a long 94 degree shock..was gone for a day..came back...the powerhead in my container with the big curing piece of lr busted and the water was so hot.

 

[TRe]

wow that sux... 94 degrees is pretty hot!!!

 

[KahluaZzZ]

those damn "new style" aquaclear...

 

[CoolWaters]

KahluaZzZ u have a chiller right? lol dont think a PC fan can bring the temp. down that much.

where i live the tank doesnt get pass 81 degrees last week it hit 82 but im ok with that....but about a month ago we had a heat wave for 2 days and the tank was 84...good thing nothing died...

 

[KahluaZzZ]

nope no chiller...but anyways i was refering to the rock that was in a coleman cooler ( used only as a container )..the temp was 80 deg cause it was kinda hot outside...and the PH blew. The other rocks are in my sump at least.
