Best Month/Time of year for most diversity on the rock?

[FrankB1]

Just wondering if it would be better to wait until summer to order rock since the cooler waters of winter may affect whats on the rock.

Liverock,
How about the prospects of shipping, particularly to the west coast? Would it be better in the spring or fall as opposed to the summer (triple digits here at times) or the winter. Or does it make much difference.

Water is 51 degrees today....

Look out your window....

The weather here today is 20-25 knot winds, seas 6-8 and small craft warnings...

Has been the worst winter weather we have ever had, just like yall up north.....

We had two dive days in December, six in January......

And we have another front coming this weekend.....we are tough, but do not risk our lives anymore in bad weather conditions....

Been doing this for 20 years, Hang in there...weather will break....and I CAN"T WAIT FOR SUMMER WEATHER!!

ahh, just re-read your posting about 78 degree temp, near the top of this thread. it was from october last year.

i can wait on the rock. still have lots of unfinished work to do on tank. wife kept bugging about having empty tank, so i ordered rock earlier than i was planning to.
