I am a tech, not an artist. Cant change who you are. I throw it in. Move a few pieces and it looks fine to me.
When the last box you open has the biggest pieces. Oh well.

I got rocks. They were formerly live and sat dry for a few years. They have recently been cured and are now sitting dry in a Rubbermaid tub waiting to be cultured and to rejoin the world of live rock.
 
Once was a co-worker “accidentally” on a subway platform. Once was a random teenager on the street. Both times took about 15-20 minutes to recover unwatered sight.
Had a bear spray canister go off and shoot a stream onto my right arm. My crew members backed up immediately and we're coughing and I could not figure out why....until my arm stared getting warm. Even after several launderings the shirt would cause a burning sensation but I never inhaled....remind you of a past politician?
 
I remember getting 4000lbs of live rock and having to seed it. The smell could knock a buzzard off a carcass at 300 paces! Good times, good times. I think the police sent a cadaver dog by the shop to be sure I was not a suspicious character.....not really just sounded good. Have a great day all.

I wish the builders association would get together and require a nailer above and around windows knowing curtain rods will be installed. My wife likes to pretend shes an Interior designer, that means new curtains & rods. Then the drywall blows out and I have to patch and repaint the wall :mad:

BTW ....@Captain Quint Hope all is well
 
More like a mountain of rock :) How did the Tampa rock show up?..You happy with it?
With shipping I paid $6.66 a pound. I am very very happy with it. 6 boxes with insulation quadruple bagged in water.
This rock did not die so It did not smell. They shipped it at 10am and I had it in the tank by 10pm.
Beats the heck out of paying 8-14 dollars a pound at the LFS. The rock itself looks like it should and not somethig I dug up in the yard and put in a vat of saltwater for 2 months.

Saw multiple tiny crabs, a shrimp, whelks and 2 bad pods. I am sure we didn't get them all.
We only killed the pods. Lots of other stuff. I know most of it want make it over time but it is fun for now. Bivalves, serpent stars, hermits, snails, worms, a lot of stuff went in last night. Many I have no idea what they are.

Now thats a REEF Tank!
 
Throw them in and don't worry about them. Then go out to dinner and try the squid. :p
Hey Paul, Have you tried the flat Squid they now serve at those Few-Few restaurants?

Jeanna left for school. Beginning of year 4. Tiny cats are gone. No one here but some dogs and crabs.
Louie will come back when he is weaned.
Kinda quiet.
Guess I will have to watch the tank. A lot
