Tampa Bay Salt Water

How do you like there rock and sand packages ect. I have looked at Dr Foster and Smith and other venders they seem to be right on top of things the way they present them selves.

I have TBS rock and I can’t say enough about it. The real value of TBS IMO is that it truly is “live” when you get it. It comes immersed in saltwater and is teeming with all kinds of life that you will spend hours looking at. The owner, Richard, was fantastic to work with and my transaction was without fault. :thumbsup:

Most people do not go thru a large cycle as the rock does not have that much die off from shipping. The shipping is sent same day and you have to pick it up at the freight department at your nearest airport. Then there is the coral and critter package TBS sends which was definitely worth the price of admission to me!!

Some say the down side to TBS is that you may get some unwanted hitchhikers. I had two Mantis Shrimp that I did not want in my tank. I had to remove those. Some gorilla crabs also. TBS has info on their site about good and bad hitchhikers.

You can get a lot of info from the <a href="http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=898477" target="_blank">Our TBS</a> thread. You can see my tank if you click the red house.

Hope this helps in your research,

Jay

Hi Ronny,

I am in the same tank as you...researching around and all, but everything I have seen and read all points to TBS for the live rock. Sure there are many others out there that sell live rock, but he has a system and he is not shy to tell you it works if you follow his recipe.

Thanks for the info I kinda already knew this but just wanted to hear it from the horses mouth. By the way already talked with Richard on land line and he seems top shelf.

Hes a nice person to communicate with. Just waiting for my rock since the weather in the gulf has been poor as of late just waiting for him to go to his site and pick some up.

You can check out My reef thread that shows our tbs rock and stuff I got.. This is my 3rd TBS tank. Richard is awsome to deal with. I am doing a 4th TBS tank this fall. 180+gals.

I will say ditto to everything else. The rock look's great and not really any cycle to speak of. I can't wait toget some fish in there to get moving....
