Hi
How does Gulf rock ship? In wet paper or submerged rock in water? Do you like it?

 

[Sm1nts2escape]

I went to order some but it says all rock is out of stock

LR looks great!

A lot better than the sterile looking stuff you find for sale here and there.

On the downside - hopefully no serious hitchhikers.

Enjoy!

It took me 1.5 years to catch a mantis in my 150lbs of glr.
They will kill all crabs, attack fish, and eat your snails.
The rock is well worth the adventure though. Next system will be glr.
Look forward to watching this system grow.
150 lbs and today 1.5 years later.
Yea I just caught the mantis.

It comes in an insulated box with the LR in thick plastic bags. Couple inches of water in the bottom. The rest is covered in paper towels. I didn’t have much die off at all once it went in the tank. I do believe there is a mantis shrimp somewhere in the rock. Have not seen him, also have not tried to catch him yet.

How did you get the mantis shrimp? I pulled 4 off the rock before I put it in

Dan at GLR is a super nice guy, give him a call.

 

[Seansea]

That orange sponge is wicked. Hope you can keep that one going

 

[JumboShrimp]

Quite superb. Keep those photos coming as things progress.

 

[elmareefer]

Is that base live rock or premium?

I tried bottle and mantis trap.
I ended up feeding it with a hemostat and a piece of shrimp.
Caught it with the hemostat but it did not make it.
