So for the most part I have been happy using artificial rock on my last couple reefs but I had some unusual battles with different bacterias and the tanks just seemed to be lacking something, so for my new reef I wanted to go back to using real ocean collected live rock.. after reading lots of favorable reviews I settled on KP aquatics.. I placed my order Friday, they shipped Monday afternoon and it was in my tank this morning.. the Rock is absolutely beautiful and super fresh, when I cut the bag it smelled like a early morning summer breeze on the beach. I didn’t visually see or smell any die off so I’m wondering if this stuff is even going to go through any curing to speak of... well enough chatter here’s the candy
