Is this the exciting future of Live Rock? Must See!!!

I purchase from Richard about 8 months ago. Everything is looking amazing. The rock never grew any algae and he sent me so many little extras. I will definetly be buy from holiness again soon. Bye I bought 100lb of Rock and 50lb of live sand. I also go a free fish that came with the rock. Richard is great to deal with and I guarantee you cannot find better rock.

Just picked mine up!

A small suggestion:
When you order and go to pick it up, make sure you have had cardiac clearance by your physician, because when he (the clerk) told me I owed him 65 bucks, I almost had an MI. Other than that, it was an easy pickup.




All in all, after I forked over 65 bucks to the airline, my total was around 200 for about 40lbs of rock. All just loaded with life. Snails, crabs, shrimps, barnacles.

It sounds expensive, but if you think about how much money you will spend buying a clean up crew, dry rock and the crap to cure it, this is much cheaper.

Thanks so much for this, it's incredible.

Buy it, you won't be sorry.

That seems like a great deal.
 
Took me a little while to get back on a PC for the upload, but this was my experience a week ago:

Got everything in:

The incredible level of packaging:
The rocks were packed in 4 or 5 bags each, and some seriously heavy duty bagging!!!

Most (not all) of it went in to my 15 at work. The biggest piece stayed behind in my system at home. The smaller C-shaped pieces got whacked with a 16oz Stanley so they would be easier to stack and maneuver. Unfortunately the finger sponge and largest gorgonian had to stay back in my 40B with the big piece and both almost reach out of the tank!

Here is a 3-seconds-ago shot of my desk at work. Sorry, Gizmo and Mojo didn't want to pose. The little tailspot is in there somewhere behind the rics.

Edit: Flickr isn't liking going off my phone. Lousy rescaled pic attached.

Diving 8/19/15

Went out today again....was like last week....almost zero viability...was 1-2 foot seas when I went down....came up to 3-5 foot seas with whitecaps and the boat rolling like crazy as I had her tied off on the gunnel.

The good new is I got an amazing load of 2.1, some pukani, and live sand. The 2.1 rock just amazes me.....and the pukani is coming along nicely also!

Needles to say...am whooped.....now!

It took a few days of light feeding but I quickly saw a sloughing off of the little crabs, mainly baby gorillas. The barnacles I knew weren't going to last long. Otherwise all the livestock seems to be doing just fine. I never saw any ammonia and I'm just waiting now for any surprises to show themselves.

Both my tank at work and home keep clicking, however - I originally had ~35lbs of rock and 3 pistols in it. I had it all in my fuge at home for a day (which is how I got away with getting Part 1 and 2 at the same time - 15gal Package stored in a seasoned 65gal system) and I thought my tank was coming apart. Kinda freaked me out. Under my A160 at work here however the rock is getting a more vivid, chromatic purple and things seem to be doing well. No nems have walked yet - considering the system has only been up since early July and with rock since a week ago today and they went in a day after the rock, that's good. Everybody seems happy enough.

This is my first barebottom though and while easier in some ways, it's different. Interesting different.
 
nice to hear its all coming along sir.

yeah I am a bit concerned with the clicking as my tank/ tanks will be in my bedroom.
do you think it would bother ya if you where trying to sleep?

I've got at least 4 in my system. 3 in my fuge and one in my DT (I must have missed him). But the clicking is not as bad as I expected. It wouldn't keep me awake if it were in my room.
