Rock is still on its way over.
Haven't touched the tank since I lost the puffer. Been working on the house. I'll get back on it again soon

The rock was shipped today, actually quite excited to get this. Interested to see the bahama arogonite sand too!

Where did you get your rock shipped from buddy ? I am looking for some aquaroche for a space on my new tank for all my new zoa. Hard to find good rock here in norway ! How is the tank doing ?

Is that in the uk ?

They sell it in the uk but I bought from America. Also got the bahama arogonite sand. Looking forward to seeing it.

Since I lost my puffer I haven't touched my tank. Had landscaping going on and also just didn't feel like it.

But today my Marco Rock arrived!

I also got some of Marcos aragonite Bahama sand but I haven't opened it yet.

No branching or plate rock came but lots of nice pieces and sizes.

Also got 2 really big pieces which could be cool to work with.

After carrying all that lot in I didn't manage to get any more photos with the full can!

Have to figure out what to do with this lot now.

Those boxes like like they were "handled with care!" Can't wait to see how they will look in your tank. When do you think you will be living in that finished house?

x_burt · Oct 10, 2016

House is far from being finished yet. I'm working on my own so it's finished when it's finished. I've given up giving dates!

The sand boxes had got a little moist so I was just happy I made it into the house with them!

I love how you used the Heineken can to show the scale size of the rock, brilliant

. Rock look great, time to become a mason and build the floating reef.

Yeah working a project can take some time! And them it depends upon how much free time you can get. So instead of a time frame. How about this, in percentage how finished is the house?

Nice stones!

Awesome build!

I'm pretty sure I didn't skip over this but what was stored in the water containers before you got them? Also- how did you clean them?

Thanks!

How many pounds of rock did you get

They had hydraulic fluid in. I will jet wash them first and then fill them and add caustic soda. Let it sit a couple of days and then repeat the process.
