I received a 40lb order of live rock yesturday. The guy on the phone said "Don't worry this rock will knock your socks off!" I was thinking cool, but how good could it be. Well, my LFS experiences have been kinda decent but this stuff "knocked my socks." I still can't seem to locate where my socks went. :D
Here are some pics of packing and when I got the rocks in the tank (still not aquascaped)

Watch for any ammonia spikes!

just an update on my rock. I received it Friday Oct 10th. I had a little Ammonia spike (not terrible). Did one water change on Sat Oct 11th. Today Wed Oct 15th Ammonia and Nitrite back at 0 ppm. I would highly reccomend a skimmer as I have been emptying mine 2 x per day since I placed the rock. Rocks look great in my tank and none of my inhabitants were upset or died in the process.
Thanks again TBS!

Bungle awesome stuff!!

Ill tell ya I only run a 55gal with 3 powerheads and a Millenium 2000 (170 gals an hour) Hang on tank filter. I am seeing 0.25ppm or less I had one spike 2 days after rock and sand were placed to 1.0ppm changed 10gals and now have a happy tank.

The recipe works I don't run a skimmer
