This was around August 9th 2015.

I just bought a RSM 500 used off of a guy that upgraded tanks. It came with two MP40's, RSLL skimmer, and a PhosBan Reactor 150. I got it set up on Thursday night. I will be adding Pukani and Gulf live Rock with in a couple of weeks. The Pukani is curing in another tank at the moment, and I will be ordering the Gulf live rock soon. The wife did not want the smell of the rock curing in the house. I love the tank so far!

This was around August 21st 2015, this is when I revived the rock and just put it the tank until I could aquascape it.

I received 50 pounds of Gulf Live Rock and 40 pounds of Live Gulf Sand yesterday from Florida Live Rock. I am very impressed with the product and service, I would recommend them to anyone looking for Gulf Live Rock. He went diving for the rock on Wednesday Aug. 19th and shipped it out overnight that night on Southwest. I recived the rock the next morning in Dallas, I had very little dieoff. http://floridaliverock.com

That liverock is amazing! I think live rock is probably the most exciting addition to a reef tank. I'm jealous. I got great rock for my biocube when I started and it was like Christmas morning unboxing everything and then finding new stuff. I'm just so terrified of hitch hickers to get it for my new system. I had pulled out a few gorilla crabs, mantis shrimp, etc. And my dad recently pulled a 4 inch stone crab that had probably been growing in his tank for the last 10 years. Certainly explained his missing livestock! Hope everything is smooth sailing for your rock and you just experience the awesomeness! :D
