how heavy is the TBS rock?

[doox00]

I already have 120 or so pounds of live rock, they do not have alot of life, only pods, bristle worms mainly.. I want some nice good stuff like what I see in these tbs rock pictures, but could only afford to get 10 or so pounds of it right now. I was wondering how many rocks that would give? Is this rock very dense and heavy? or porous and overal light?

thanks!

very dense, very heavy, a socker ball size would be 10 lbs easy.

I just received half of a 50 lb order and it was 1 huge rock and 2 softball sized rocks, so yes very dense. The stuff that is on this rock is amazing. I have 2 porcelain crabs on the one rock, a very colorful very small mantis and a variety of snales and such.

This rock really is worth the extra money, you just do not get the life forms on the fiji. (the extra life may be deemed a burden by some and a in my case a bonus)

TBS, do you do only 10 pound orders? maybe I could get 10 pounds at a time or something and add more as I am able to afford it.

Yes I sell any amount...but there is a minimum shipping charge , charged by the airlines...about $50.....

so shipping small amounts is costly!

Yep half of my 50 lbs, I am excited to find out from you Richard that the rest of my order will be waiting for me at the Pittsburgh cargo area when they open. Woo Hoo!!!!
