Yeah, my freedon was almost in jeopardy
. My wife walked in the door to, 'Uh, you may not be too happy about this, but...'. The biggest thing was she was looking forward to eating Mexican all day that day. We still worked the meal in and she didn't have to help me move anything in from the car (and I wonder why Ihave back problems from time to time-you'd think consistently lifted 150+ pounds in flexible/unstable rubbermaid tubs would build it up
, so I was out of th edog house pretty quick
. I was plannign on paring down the two tubs in the living room to one, but that'll have to wait. I'm getting rid of some of the large rock today (gotta send a PM to make sure it is still on), which will freee up room in one of the tubs, The remainder of the rock in that tub will be up for grabs after Ashley gets his pick. I have four or five nice sized pieces (should all be over 10 pounds each-Fiji) and bunch of smaller stuff. The smaller stuff is going into Jenn's 20L and the soon to be upgraded 5.5 to 10 gallon at work. Once this rock is out (these are leftovers from the 180 purchase), I will move the rock that came from the 125 into the tub. It has been cooking and smells horrible, so it will have to sit i a batch of newly changed water for a little while before ai move it into the tubs so I don't mess up Bart's rock. The 125 rock will be sold when it is cured again, leaving me with Bart's rock, which will be used in heling two of my friends set up bigger tanks. The remainder will be sold off (with a decent split going to Bart to help him recover something out of all of this).
As it is, I am confident that I have at least twice as much rock as any LFS in the area
. The leftovers from what Ashley doesn't buy will be sold at $4/pound. The 125 rock will also be $4 a pound, but will take a little curing first. I like leaving them in the tubs with the G5 skimmer to help them drop their detritus and get rid of the nasties so they can be beneficial in a new tank rather than detrimental. Long and short of it, if anyone needs rock over the next few months, let me know. I won't let any of it go until I'm sure it has been cured, but should have some ready in a few weeks. I feel like I'm peddling rock on the corner... "Who needs some rock? The stuff I've got is the fire, who need some fire rock (in my best crackhead voice)
."

1.5 hours driving and I couldn't find his house... although I was certain he lived on Emery Ct. off Compton.
