A search in the vendor experiences forum might be useful.

I did and am generally happy with the rock, however it was not cured at all.

I purchased 75lbs from them about 3 weeks ago and its been cooking an a garbage can ever since. There were a few pieces that had quite a bit of die-off but I scrubbed it and everything looks good now - After 3 water changes the rock looks much better and seems to have cool things growing. I specified some shape and sizes and everything was as ordered. I would recommend them.

I bought 50 lbs of live rock from them. It was full of life and the pieces were very nice. I plan on ordering from them again for my next tank.

Just received 25lbs of LR from this distributor literally 5 mins. ago. Looks pretty promising looks like there is full of life,
but I will definitely want to cure the stuff cause it took about 5 days to get here with wet newspaper to keep it wet.

I am going to cure the rock in some rubbermaid bins, what should I use to keep flow in the bin, 1 powerhead maybe 2? and should i throw in my skimmer in there or just let it sit?

Thanks a lot.
