Shipping DAL easy....Southwest airlines...direct flight!

cost about $60 per 100 pounds...

a 65 package will weigh about 180 pounds part one...part two about 120 pounds...

Thanks Richard, have the money for the rock now, waiting on my sump so should only be a couple more weeks. As soon as I put water in the tank I will order the rock.

liverock · 11/23/2010, 01:56 PM

3150 pounds of rock hit the bottom of the Gulf today...and another 3150 is on the boat right now, ready to hit the bottom tomorrow.

Gotta love 85 degrees, and flat calm ocean on Nov. 23rd 2010!

This was all amazing rock, and a in a few years....in your tank!

naprestsleep · 11/23/2010, 02:34 PM

Do you have room to get behind the control and steer that boat, with all the rock piled up?

liverock · 11/24/2010, 05:52 AM

I will take a picture today and show you!

liverock · 11/25/2010, 08:18 AM

Another amazing day on the gulf of Mexico yesterday. 86 degrees, flat calm like a lake and so clear I could see the rock as it hit the bottom.

To answer your question of how I pilot the boat...I leave just enough room to stand behind the wheel and operate the throttle!

Richard TBS

naprestsleep · 11/28/2010, 12:11 PM

Guess your boat a low rider when your heading out with all that.

stormrider27 · 12/16/2010, 02:11 PM

Richard, I have a minumest tank but in about a month I will be setting up a bi level 75 gallon refugium. Do you have rubble sized live rock with lots of live on it, especially sponges, I can use for my refugium? I will only need about 25-30 pounds.

Thanks,
Mark

liverock · 12/17/2010, 11:58 AM

Sure do...just let me know when you are ready!

Richard,
I'm brand new to the hobby and have been studiously doing research before I start my tank (JBJ Nano Cube 28g). One of the easiest decisions for me is go with your company for the live rock, substrate and "cleaning crew." It is quite evident you provide a great service and I am happy that the live rock is aquacultured in the good ol' US of A!
I'll be sending in my order for 50 lbs of rock soon!!

Patience is clearly the toughest part of this hobby!

Question for you -- out of curiousity -- how do you keep track of which areas of your farm need to be planted and which can be harvested? GPS and databases?

What you are thinking will work, but why not just go with all live rock?

or a Package deal, and get everything you need to set up and have a happy tank!

Hey Randy,

Thanks, but I managed to get lucky this time and a friend gave me a bunch from a tank he was taking down. I did just get a larger tank, so I still may need more.

Now if I could just find a friend that doesn't need a 250w Metal Halide....
