Hi, I just wanted to give some feedback regarding MarineDepot and the order of liverock I received today. I ordered the 44 lbs. of Figi rock delivered overnight for $161.95 which is a great price.
The staff at MarineDepot is very professional, courteous and a pleasure to deal with over the phone. The rock was delivered in the time frame promised.
I am pleased with the shapes and sizes of the MarineDepot rock. They gave me a nice mix of larger and smaller pieces.
There is good dark purple coralline coverage on most of the rocks and there is also some orange/yellow coralline.
There is a fair amount of life on the rocks that I noticed before putting it in the tank. I have a variety of what I think are sponges and I saw a hermit crab and some sort of mollusk shells in a rock. There also seems to be some coral remnants on some of the rocks. Hopefully, I will keep most of it. The tank is really cloudy from the sand I kicked up so I can't see much more. I have my Remora skimmer going and it's already pulling out wet foamy skimmate.
The box the rock came in was very secure with no leaks. But, considering how hot it is right now, I was a little disappointed to see only a couple of wet newspapers covering the order of rock. The rock was somewhat damp at best , and smelled pretty strong.
Overall, I am very pleased with my order. The rock seems to be of good quality and the service was excellent. I would order rock from them again.
