I received my shipment of Aquaforest AF Rock today. Shipment was 10kg and a total of 12 pieces. Rock is very light weight and nice shapes. It is not as "blue" as the pictures show probably light from my tank - one rock was almost white compared to the others. You can see that one in the attached pictures. The rock is a light purple/blue color as received - I will update pics once I put rocks in water.

Most of the rocks are what I consider to be base or shelf rock with nice flat bottoms for good placement on sand.

I am in the process of setting up this 125 and ready to begin the cycling process. I will be giving this rock a good rinse before putting in my tank. I've not posted pictures before so we will see how this goes.

I think Aquatic Sealife is a distributor for Coralvue. You will know shipping during checkout. I don't remember what mine was.

The tank is no longer running. My nitrates were around 50ppm at the end of the cycle. Not sure what caused that high nitrate so I can't say it was the rock.
