Just want to voice my awesome experience with Richard at Tampa Bay Saltwater. I received package 1 on 4/16. The rock was gourgeous with all kinds of life. I found red tunicate and feather worms all over the rock. Couldn't stop staring at it finding all kinds of new things. Hermit crab, red mithrax crab, gorilla crab, pistol shrimp. Amazing!

The tank cycled fast. I don't think I ever got ammonia above 1 ppm.

I call Richard for the second shipment on 4/25 and he arranged to ship it the next day. What awesome service. The second shipment was loaded with more rock and the clean up crew. Also thrown in was a rock flower anenome and serveral gorgonians and red branch sponges.

It has been two days and the tank is doing great.

Here is pictures of Package 1
