review of Tampa Bay Saltwater Live Rock

At Dave's recommendation I ordered in 65 lbs of Tampa Bay Saltwater live rock.

I must say I am incredibly impressed. Not only with the quality of rock, but by the customer service they gave me.

They only ship to airports, and he actually emailed me within 5 minutes of my boxes landing in CR to let me know they were ready to pick up.

The main reason I bought it was because I wanted to seed my system with as much life diversity as I could early on. And wow, there were small crabs, snails, & MYSID SHRIMP all over these.

Now I will say it is not cheap by any means, but you get what you pay for. With shipping it comes out to be around $8 a lb.

 

No, but it is going in my refugium, not the main tank.

Looking at reviews, I wasnt too worried. Majanos & Aptaisia do not come from the Carribean, and the system is fishless right now.

 

It is actually some cool pieces. One is full of holes like someone glued a bunch of branch together. Others are 6-8 inches long, shaped like a boomerang or kidney bean and 3 inches thick. A few others were just rock shaped.

Found a ton of snails, assorted crabs, mysid shrimps.

I think I will order another 50 lbs in a couple weeks.
