LifeRock dry CaribSea or MarcoRock coralline?

Unfortunately I also ordered 10lb of Australian live rocks from addictivereefkeeping
And apparently (despite the high cost) they ship them via UPS ground (7days probably) so I think they will not live anymore when they reach me in Boston

He states on his website they wrap the rock in saltwater soaked wrapping, them bubble wrap before putting into the styro box. So, the bacteria and coralline might be okay but, any other hitchhikers (like crabs, snails, etc) are unlikely to make it. I'm surprised he doesn't have options for overnight or priority shipping.

Looks good. The Marco looked good but I did like the KP a little better. The KP had more life on it. I too got 40 lbs. You will not be disappointed!!! Both rocks come from the same area as well.

Yup followed your suggestion, I am just afraid about the Australian rocks from AddictiveReefKeeping, sadly I read bad opinions about them but its probably too late now.

Do you guys have any suggestions about Australian Rocks seller?
Thanks

@Reefing102 mentioned Eric Cohen at TankStop and LiveRocknReef upthread for Australian rock. I've never ordered from either and don't really know much about them.

There are those. I’ve never heard of any complaints about either but I also have no direct ordering experience with either. I have talked to Eric before though and he seemed straight forward. I have seen reviews where he FaceTimed with people to pick the rock they wanted.

I haven't heard much about the Aussie Rocks. I would think seven days would also be bad on the rocks but I really couldn't say. I hope everything turns out okay. Bacteria, etc inside the rock should be fine. I would be worried about everything on the outside though at that timeframe. If it is a new tank then I think you should be fine adding them. If not, then I would probably cure those rocks if it takes that long to get to you.
