Was an amazing day on/under the Gulf of mexico today!
Started out early as usual...



Was seriously flat calm like a LAKE!!



sunrise was really nice today....



Was zinging along out to the aquaculture site...




Almost to the site and the sun is breaking the horizon...



There she is!



Getting ready to hop over...still a lake...



This is REAL live sand folks....stuff the wrasse love to burrow in...today I had a bunch of slippery dick wrasses....soon as I would pick up 'their' rock they dive into the sand...



Rock is Killer!



Brought in about 1000 pounds today....



Got the load....on the way home....and to your tank!
stocked to the 'gills as they say" LOL

Tampa Saltwater Live Rock

Tampa Saltwater Live Rock

Received an order for 75lbs of live rock from Richard at TSW and it's awesome stuff. Growth is really unique with barnacles, sponges, algae, and a few baby corals. I received Walt's rock and the shapes were very unique and lots of nooks and holes through the rocks. Surprised how nice it was for man made and feel good not pulling from the real reefs. Packaging was probably the best I've ever seen and can withstand a bumpy ride during shipping. Arrived underwater and in perfect condition. Looking forward to placing in my tank next week. Richard was great to deal with, replied in short order and even followed up to make sure it arrived. Great service compared to larger online big boxes.

:beer:

Best rock in the world!

It's been flat calm for sure Richard. We've been out the past 2 weeks and going out again this week.

The viz was great last week in 50 ft. with the incoming tide. If it's clear on your site I want to shoot some more video.

And I agree on the sand, I've been amazed lately at all the little burrowing creatures that make their home in the sand. They need this type of sand. Sugar sand is no good. Just collapses.

Btw, I'm considering a 120 gallon tank. That didn't take long, huh. Lol

You have the sickness for sure....diving and reefing LOL

there was lots of fish today, and about seven huge cobia...on a stingray..more than I have ever seen before and all legal size.....gonna go fishing for sure as the cobia are YUM_YUM!

I've yet to shoot one, but I'm to the point I think I could handle one now without getting myself killed.

My buddy free shafted a 4 footer a couple weeks ago. 3 shafts in it and it was still kicking and had to be brained.

They are most definitely delicious.

[liverock]

not me....they are crazy...fish..

I would NEVER shoot one....unless it was with a 9MM...did ya see the guy on you tube shooting lions under water....was pretty neat.....hard to miss lol....

Have not seen any on the site.....but we gotta go fishing lol...

Yes, with the modified Glock. Too funny.

Like I said, haven't shot a cobia yet, nor have I shot an AJ. I have seen plenty of videos of guys getting their butts kicked after shooting one though. Gotta be careful.
