125 Lbs. of KP Live Rock on airplane now.

[Jeffcb]

Its been years since I have done this. Last time I got rock it was wrapped in wet news paper and was a long cycle. Smelly.

This is shipped in water and weighs 285 pounds with water. Freight was high but supposedly better.

Its going in my Reefer 900 (240gal) which was has been full and running for 10 days.

I have120 gallons of RO/DI water made and ready. Plan on using MicroBacter 7

Any tips or advise would be appreciated.

It just got real. Lets see how this goes.

It's been years since I got aired in rock! Looking forward to seeing the quality of this, and see if that has changed any!

I somewhat regret not doing their recommended high salinity dips with my KP rock to try and evacuate any gorilla crabs. Now I don't want to fuss with my aquascaping, but it's a pain trying to trap them.

Awesome!! I love unboxing gulf live rock and seeing all the cool stuff on the rock!!

 

[RobB'z Reef]

awesome!! I got my rock from KP as well... super happy. Have to ask tho...why in the ever loving world are you putting microbacter in when you spent all that $$$ on the bacteria the live rock comes with?? Unnecessary and counter-intuitive, just sayin, reconsider congrats on your quality purchase. Sounds like an exciting build!

 

[Chrille26]

Nice! Please post lots of pics of all the cool critters and stuff!

If it'll fit, cycle in the sump or other container so you can pick through the undesireable hitchhickers.

To me, the best thing is just seeing that KP is back up and running. I know with Tampa Bay vanishing over the fall/winter, I was worried that we were losing one of the few vendors providing actual honest-to-goodness live rock.

 

[LOVEROCK]

lets see it in tank !!!!

I did the high salinity dip and still found some afterwards, some of them went deeper into caves instead of vacating during the dips.
