Hey I wonder how much carbon is deposited into the atmosphere in shipping the rocks halfway around the world? No reef impact? I guess it depends on how hard you look...
Is this the exciting future of Live Rock? Must See!!!

Seriously? You really want to go there... on your third post, even?
Don't take the bait. Don't want to ruin a good thread.

How long do you people recommend I wait before getting these rocks if my tank is only on its second week of initial cycle. Don't want to lose any of the life that comes on these things

Thinkin in terms of corals, sponges, molluscs etc

The rock comes with so much active bacteria that the ammonia level should be stabilized rather quickly. This is the benefit on having the rock shipped overnight in water. I'd get some rock now and if you start to see some ammonia creep in then preform a water change to lower it. I've never had any problems with preserving life on any of these rocks with a newly establish tank.

Rock arrived today. Definitely some very nice rock. All the previous comments about this 2.1 rock being light, porous and full of life are on the money. Tanks again for your generosity Ricard :beer:
Now for some cheesy cell phone pictures.

Man, I would have opted for this rock versus TBS' regular live rock, but unfortunately I needed a bigger size than what was available in 2.0 stock. I still love TBS' stuff, I just put my one piece in the tank yesterday!

I ordered my live rock on Thursday night at 11:00 PM, woke up to an email from Richard explaining it would be cheaper to ship it in to Midway vs O'Hare, and had the rock in my tank by 7:00 PM Friday. The rock is beautiful with tons of life all over it. I tried to capture of cell phone showing all the barnacles sticking their tongues (not sure if that is what you call them) into the water:

And a photo of some sponges:
10 out of 10...would buy again. I wish I had started with all TBS rock instead of starting with 80lbs of dry and 30 lbs of live rock from LFS.

Going barebottom on a 93 Cube ( 30"x 30"x24" H ) so no need for " the package" .About how many pounds of the 2.1 Live Rock for more like a minimalist aquascape?
