DFS Caribbean LR

[chinzman93]

In the next month I will be needing to purchase LR for my new 90 gallon. I am considering the purchase of 80 pound of DFS's Caribbean rock. I like to get the opinion of anyone that has tried this rock. What kind of condition did it arrive in? How long did it take to cure? Does it color back up fairly quickly? Thoughts on any of these questions would be appreciated. Also, if anyone has any pictures of this rock in the tank I would love to see them...

Thanks,
Clay

Chinzman93,

We appreciate your interest in the live rock we offer. The Caribbean Live Rock is typically less dense compared to other live rock available, and normally takes 4-6 weeks to fully cure before placing in a display aquarium. After the rock has been cured and established in the aquarium, a good variety of coloration will begin to appear. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to let us know.

Sincerely,
Mike S.

I bought the small box for my nano over a year ago, it came in with a fair amount of dieoff, took about a month to cure fully, just make sure to get off sponges, now it's so covered in coralline a picture wouldn't show much but I got a couple nice shapes, most was flatter rocks so I added some other rock to mix it up a little, you would most likely get better rocks in a bigger sized box though, mine was only 16 pounds I think. There was different colors of corraline and such but purple took over.
