do you have any more pics of it Sorry for the crappy pic but here is what it looks like today:
Thanks, appreciate it. I'll post a side shoot soon. Here's another pic of the rock when I first picked it up. Is this awesome rock or what?!!!I have eye balled your cooler full of beautiful rock a few times and now the finished product WOW absolutely stunning aquascape brother
That looks amazing! I know it was getting better color each day but that looks crazy good!!! Right on!!!!Sorry for the crappy pic but here is what it looks like today:
That purple gooey coralline is just the bomb! So awesome to see how it looks now!It even has halimeda, some uknown caluerpa, and dragons breathe algae growing out of it!!
$47 for overnight and $43 for 2 day. If you’re cool with that, you can order from my website and I’ll contact you to work out the shipping. Thanks for checking with me!
I like that idea! Next time I’ll rinse all the rock in higher salinity water.
Thanks Eric for the rock. There are a few branches and corals that look to be alive? This rock smells fresh and I dropped it in the tank where 5 lbs filled the corner of my wife's fish tank nicely. I maybe should have purchased more, not because I need it but simply because it's so beautiful.
Empty corner with cycled man-made rock that has been in the fish tank since I set up last year.
Rock dropped in, filling the corner nicely:
The poor Test Duncan was added a couple of weeks ago to observe how the tank is progressing in it's ability to provide for coral support. I need to put a doser on if I am going to get serious about having coral in here. The Nem was added Day 1 and recently split.
^The nem^ got super open right after I added the rock so I suspect that whatever "magic" is carried by the rock provided a jolt of nutrition and secret macrobiotic elements that boost the natural immunity and health on the reef for all the critters living there? There was a quick burst of window slime this morning but the nem is still super puffy and the fish are busy and actively swimming and begging for more food, (you know the drill)
The nem is living on long wet-fake rock while some of the new rock can be seen out front on the far left. Yes, I should have bought more but I am very happy with the addition of fresh living material from Australia that came attached to these beautiful coral clusters.
It will be interesting to see how this rock and the tank develop in the weeks and months to come.
Yes, for low demand systems some people get away with regular water changes. I use a calcium reactor for my reef tank because I decided I wanted to do less water changes, which can work but it is amazing how much invisible stuff gets moved around between the reef animals. That last statement is why I added live rock to a mature dead rock tank. I hope to have more diversity of microbes because they really run the show when it comes water quality, imo.
Your shipping for 10 lbs would be:
You forgot to mention about Guido and Vinnie
Marshals did look a lot like this piece I circled. That was always my favorite too. I imported Marshal rock for years until I/we got shut down……that’s another story.
