Has anyone bought the tonga branch rock (dry) for their tank?

Jeremy: Could you post a pic of some of it?

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

Here is what the rock should look like.

That piece is in one of our fish holding tanks.

Unfortunately, when we order in 100lbs, we get some nice pieces and then a lot of left over pieces and chunks like

That one is probably 15-18" long and about 5" around, just a big brick.

Then these

To give you reference, that box those pieces are in is 12x12.

So basically we either need to just quit selling the rock, or cherry pict it and sell the nice pieces at a premium and just dump the bad pieces. At the going rate though, that would probably put the nice pieces at 2 or 3 times the going cost per pound, which probably makes it not worth while.

Thanks. That settles that! Will just get some of the real stuff.
