TB Saltwater Hitchhikers

[User1]

Makes me wish I didn't use dry rock.

My original plan was to use TBS rock. 2 in college I didn't plan it properly so went with 150 LBS of Dry Pukani. Friends do not let Friends use dry rock. Ever.... Having used dry rock I wish I would have made a few other changes and used TBS. Never again will dry rock be shipped to my house.

Yeah I’ve heard from them a few times.

Hopefully the weather cooperates soon.

did you order and how many weeks ago ?

did you order and how many weeks ago ?

Yeah, a couple months ago.

 

[eschaton]

how long ago did you place your order ?

January 3rd.

I am apparently 3rd on their list out of 50-some orders.

I ordered December 18. Maybe I’m first.

Anyone been getting shipments lately? I know they are behind because of weather. My tank is patiently waiting...

Also interested in recent deliveries. I am about two weeks out from receiving my tank and am seriously considering TBS rock. Interested if anyone has experienced cirolanid isopods on the live rock. Have been researching a lot lately and I DO NOT want those as a hitchhiker. I can deal with everything else but not those.

If you are thinking about it order it now, I put in an order sep 24th and still not sure when I'll get it.

Wow. I am thinking that is the best way to go. May order tomorrow or first of next week. Planning to possibly place it in a tub for a few weeks to thin out unwanted hitchhikers and ensure no cirolanid pods as I'm terrified of getting them as a hitchhiker.

Finally out of the ocean and in the sump! BTW a small crab jumped off when putting the first rock in - think I will let him stay down there...
