Wow, I just did a road trip to Premium Aquatics in Indy and bought 6 pieces of really nice Marshall Island fully cured for $5.49/lb. the largest piece was about 37 lbs and the smallest was 20. I know they mostly do business via the web and mail order as their storefront is only open to the public 12-3 on saturdays.........they are at premiumaquatics.com

very exciting! progress is being made it seems

 

[twistedimage92]

find any that are like 30-40x9-10x 10-14?

There were lots of really big marshall island pieces about the same size as those that I picked up. They had just unloaded a shipment that morning, though I didn't see what it was like as it was fresh off the boat. Still had nice green calpera (sp) algae and actually it didn't smell a bit.....

The did have some really nice tonga and fiji too....

i just bought figi tonga branch rock... i got 47 lbs for 280... how was that? 5.95 a pound... is that good or bad?

 

[1979camaro]

5.95 a pound is a good price for tonga

 

[twistedimage92]

cool... i thought i might have gotten worked on the deal... thanks a lot guys... there also was a peice of hard coral on it, but i dont have any good lights yet so it will probably just die...

 

[twistedimage92]

think i might have a problem with it already... on the wall of my tank, there are hundreds or even more little white things running around... also i found a shell-less snail looking thing... any ideas?

 

[aresgod]

haha, not problems, good things, the little white things are most likely pods, which you definetly want, and the shell-less snail might be a cowrie, I wouldnt worry.

 

[twistedimage92]

please explain pods? help in bio cleaning?

 

[aresgod]

google amphipod and copepod. that should answer your questions, they eat some detritus, but mainly serve as food for your tank inhabitants.
