Thinking of putting in a big live rock order with saltwaterfish.com. Has anyone used them before, and if so, what was your experience like?

Thanks guys.

-PS
 
I don't have experience with them. But I have to put in a plug for Tampa Bay Saltwater. Amazing live rock, massive amount of awesome hitchhikers (I'll admit, got a few baddies too but fished them out) and lots of neat "freebies."

This was my tank the day after getting shipment two of "The Package." Yes. This tank was totally empty before TBS and all you see is what was from TBS.

The red tree sponge didn't make it. Everything else is alive and kicking (except the macro algae which was mowed down by my Kole in about a day).
 
I really like floridaliverock.com. I have ordered from there twice 3 years apart and Dale remembered who I was. I ordered 30lbs of decorative rock. Dale told me he really didnt have what I was asking for at the time and said he was going out in a few days if I could wait. Well a hurricane blew through to close and he called me and said it wasnt worth the risk it maybe be another week and I said thats fine, the next week he called an said he just came in from diving and asked if I wanted him to head to the airport or wait till my day off Which was previous discussed (Tuesday)5 days away, of course I said please go now I will go tonight 11pm. He went to the airport and sent it off so my 30lbs landed BNA (Nashville) 5 hours from the call. This is all what I got Nov 2015
The Mushrooms and pulse xenia are bumped from another tank I but the rest was that shipment. I just took the photos for this post
