Tampa Bay ROCKS

Just a quick update, picked up my rock and sand from the eugene airport with just a little glitch. They dont have a seperate cargo area so you pick it up at the ticket counter and they didnt have a clue until an hour wait until the supervisor finally showed and says sign here and you're good to go.

Once i got home put the sand and base rock in and got the pumps back on things started moving around it was awesome. The sand looks a lot better in person so much cool stuff in it. Two of the large base rocks are U shaped which i didn't expect. All was well packed and smelled good when opened. I dont think you could live any further from Tampa than back woods southern oregon so amazed how fresh it is. Cant wait for the premium rock to get here in 3 weeks.

Please post pictures of the rock and sand! I bought one of the smaller sand orders which shipped by UPS to roofers sky sand. I sifted the sand with a 1/4 inch soil sifter to remove the larger pieces:

I just put the rocks in and am waiting on scaping until i get my next delivery in a couple weeks. I love all the shells and bigger chunks which some turned out to be alive and started crawling around

Glad you were able to get the rock into your tank!
