Does this look like good Live Rock or Bad LR? Please help?

[MarineGirl411]

I just want to know if this looks like good LR or bad LR. It was supposed to be Ultra Fiji Premium. It doesn't look Premium to me. Maybe I'm wrong. What do you all think? Also, what are the black marks? Sponges? I tried scrubbing most of them off, but I see I missed quite a bit. I also have a dead peanut worm (I think) hanging out of one of the holes. Yes, I'm going to remove him. Let me know. I'd really appreciate it. TY

Hows it smell??

 

[MarineGirl411]

it smells fresh. Not rotten. It was supposed to be super ultra fiji premium though. Does it look that great to you?

 

[BLKTANG]

Well its definitly Fiji Premium.


IMO no it dosent look that great.

sorry. I thought I said. 66 pounds.

 

[beelzebob]

looks like 35-45lbs.

if thats true, no you didn't.

my rock looked like that too. i got it from my lfs. now its all purple, pink, red and stuff.

2 months under nice lights and i see new stuff ive never seen before every day.

dont worry. you wanna hear a burn. i got charged 9.99 a pound for tonga branch @ my lfs. turned out to be bleached coral kept in a filthy tank.

i took it back and made a scene

 

[BLKTANG]

you paid $2.50 lb u did great.

 

[MarineGirl411]

No it's 66 pounds. Southwest airlines weighed it.

 

[BLKTANG]

$2.75 1/2 cent per pound.

 

[MarineGirl411]

what do you mean? That was the cost of shipping? Or for the LR? =/ Sorry. I don't understand what you mean

 

[BLKTANG]

thats what u paid for the LR not including shipping.

looks like some decent rock to me, lots of nooks and such.

there is an lfs near me that charges 19.99 for the rock in their coral tank, as an extra charge when you buy a coral. ultimate ripoff.
