Hi again, my birthday was yesterday so my parents are ready to order my rock. Is the Fiji cured rock ready? Is it really good? I dont mind waiting if its not the best. Also on density would 80 or 90 look good in a 55? Thanks, I've heard so many good things about this rock and cant wait to get some!

Hi Andrew,
The rock we have in stock is now cured, but many people went ahead and bought the rock uncured and semi-cured, so not much left.
If you don'd mind waiting longer, we have a fresh 1000 pounds coming in saturday. We could take an order when we get back from vacation and set your pieces aside until they get cured, that way you get top picks.
On the density, 80-90 should be plenty for a 55gallon, that should pack it nice and full. Density varies from batch to batch and piece to piece, but usually it's pretty light with lots of holes.

Can you give me a date when the rock will be ready? I really would like to get some rock soon, as this tank was a Christmas present and I am just now getting rock. Is it like bottom of the barrel crud rock u have now? Do you even have 90 pounds in? I'm thinking if the rock you have now isnt basketball size crap pieces I might get it. Would you wait? I'm guessing the new rock would be ready july? I don think I can wait that long. Hmm. Thanks for answering muy questions.

Actually, I'm thinking of getting my rock somewhere else now. I have already waited a month for this rock and was told it was all gone. I am definitly not waiting till july so, gotta find another dealer. I was looking forward to this rock but I cant waist all summer trying to get rock. I was suposed to be adding fish and corals in july. Now it looks like I might finish cycling just in time for school.
This is really disapointing

Hi Andrew,
The 2nd batch will be ready in 10 days. We have probably 150 pounds cured right now. Still nice pieces, but more we have in stock more selection we can offer you.
If you want some rock though, i would order it soon, it goes fast and you don't have to pay for it until it's ready. Otherwise we have no idea who is waiting for it and can be bought up quickly,

Hi,
If you are using overnight shipping, it would probably be fine to add the snails, chance they could get smashed from the rock, but could put in a little box inside. If it's 2 days, i would wait on the trochus, they are not a real good shipping snail, so don't think they would make it 2-day.
