23yr Live Rock

[Shiggknight]

Has anyone gotten live rock from this company in Florida I was considering getting this.

 

[DonTavo27]

Whoa! That’s a hefty price.

 

[Shiggknight]

Indeed but is it worth it?

 

[DonTavo27]

Have you tried searching on local forums for anyone selling live rock?

 

[DonTavo27]

I don’t think it is, but that’s just my opinion.

 

[Shiggknight]

That’s why I’m asking getting a consensus.

 

[Shiggknight]

No one else has used live wild rock?

That’s a lot of money for rock that will more than likely be half dead on arrival

No one else has used live wild rock?

The last “wild” live substance I used was Florida mangrove mud. I made a thread with my experience. It introduced both beneficial and harmful things to my tank. I had to hit the reset button.

KP is 2300 bucks for 200lb that’s pricey compared to this stuff.

Maybe try 10 pounds? Or whatever their minimum is. Hate to see you get burned for over a grand

 

[NeonRabbit221B]

My brain forgot how to do math and how much 200 lbs is. Honestly I have always done 1/2 and 1/2 in the past.

KP is $8 a pound shipped to your airport in paper. So that’s $1600. If you do it in water you’ll pay more than that. I just did in water shipping and it came out great.

what’s the shipping style for $1,288?

Outrageous price... why not look at KP aquatics?

How much are you paying to KP aquatics and where are you purchasing it?

I am thinking about getting shipped in water for $9.20 per pound plus air freight

 

[PSU4ME]

KP is $8 a pound, if you do in water he does 20# of rock per box. Each box ends up weighing 45-50# so like a 2.4 multiplier.

I paid $0.96 a pound (varies on your zone) for 95#....... so 40# of rock, shipped in water costs me $416 plus the drive to the airport.

Keep in mind the source rock as well. Some of it is heavy and boulder like. It’ll make a big difference in the space it takes and how good it is to aquascape

I have 200 ponds in my system from them and I loved it

 

[615Bororeefer]

I love rock n reef some reason people here no speak for them like kp. But I’m telling u this stuff had alll types of coral sponges amd crabs and such so much diversity
