Happy Customer

Thanko · 03/05/2012, 07:13 PM

First post here,

I'm a long time lurker, but felt compelled to register and post this thread because the pictures and reviews here of the live rock from Tampa Bay Saltwater was what convinced me to purchase rock from Richard. What everyone else said is true. The rocks are awesome and the service they provide is excellent. The one complaint I have is with myself, wondering why I didn't do it sooner.

Enough of my rambling.. Here are some pictures of the goodies I received from Richard. Please note that everything was packed perfectly, and received in great shape.

I've found macros, starfish, assorted crabs, feather dusters, sponges, all over the rocks. They have a ton of diversity on them, and there were lots of surprises included.

I'm definitely a happy customer!

Purty stuff there. Can't wait to get my order now that I am actually home to set up the tank.

Thanko,

How much of a cycle are you getting with this rock?

With the first shipment ammonia went to .50 PPM and back to 0 in 3 days.

Second shipment arrived the next week. After the second shipment was added I had a spike to .5, then 1.0, and topped at 2.0 PPM. Took big water changes for 3 days then it leveled out back at 0.

2 weeks after the intial rock receipt, onward its been at 0 ammonia.

Your pictures are amazing. We are going t be ordering from Richard in the next few days. Feeling both excited and nervous because this is our first adventure in the aquarium world. You make it sound so easy, hope we have the same success!
