That's what I'd like to do, I hate paying for shipping Amazon has spoiled me
That is some dog-gone pretty rock. Under the natural ocean light, it looked Nothing like that. Guess you found out about the sand and holes I saw myself.Here is what 55 lbs looked like in my wifes 65
I’m pretty sure you could. Take a drive down to Islamirada and do it… Take pictures if they let you!
Rich from TBS will sometimes let u scuba dive to pick out the rocks (if u r a certified diver), not sure if this is only for repeat/good customers though. But u can definitely go and pick them up from his shop to save shipping $ bc shipping rocks from ocean was expensive and u have to go to the airport freight delivery section to pick them up, which wasn't fun in Newark airport!
Sounds good, I had my rock since 1990, had to break my tank down for 4 years but I kept my rock in 40 gallon trash cans with water on them. It was still good rock but a lot of goodies died off, going to do a 60 cube soon, and was going to move some rock from main tank. This sounds like a good idea.
KP is nice - I placed a purchase from them a few weeks back of a couple items. Not rock but everything was well received, packaged well, and arrived on time. Funny you should mention driving by. I'm in Northern California. Daughter and I may be taking the car out for a road trip. I was joking at dinner one night when I said we'll drive it to the Southern most point in the US which I believe Key West is and back. Stop along the way in Vegas, Atlanta, New Orleans, and maybe Santa Fe just for fun. My wife was like your crazy and nuts - I'm out. My daughter was like I got shot-gun
I could do a stop, purchase and b-line it back to California...
I’d go for it, only a 56 hour straight drive.. one way of course
I've seen some folks do runs from New York to California in about 25 hours or so swapping drivers. This would be further but still. Being serious for a minute though it really is something we are thinking about just for fun. I'd say swapping driving duties and stopping the night at places we wanted to see it could work. Vegas to meet a friend for dinner. Atlanta because my daughter wants to see the aquarium. New Orleans for some music and food. Key West just because. Who knows, maybe we can sneak a day of diving in. Allocate 2 weeks? Seems doable Mantis shrimp are part of the equation. Now some may like, others may not - but just be glad you are not said Mantis. One minute you are enjoying your new digs provided by KP Aquatics and the next minute you are on a transport to some unknown location fearing of being water boarded. Ok, just kidding on the water boarding part but still it could happen!
