Looking forward to pics of the rock.
I also went with Planet Aquariums, but not quite as big....120g.

I tried calling but "live support is not available" to due to corona, and the package was delayed for reasons "beyond their control". I'm pretty sure the driver just failed to take it off the truck. Guess my very expensive live rock won't be live anymore.Have you contacted them to see where the other box is ? Or if the other box has a seperate tracking number ?
That's good to hear! But turns out this 1st box didn't have all that many critters on it. Which is okay, because I mostly wanted it for the bacteria and coralline. The coralline is mostly orange, but there's also some purple and green. We soaked each rock in high salinity saltwater to get critters to jump off but not a lot did. The only survivors were a bristle star, a tiny pencil urchin, and a scary looking orange worm. The deceased included a few crabs, a few bristle stars, and a large feather worm. I didn't see any isopods luckily, but I will be setting a trap tonight and inspecting by flashlight.Something similar happened with mine when I got rock from PA. Miraculously, the rock was still arrive when the other box showed up 2 days later.
So...how does the box you did get look ?
I sure hope so, when we setup our first tank (32g biocube) we used live rock from our LFS, and it was so awesome watching what new things would come crawling out of the tank. We used to stare at it for hours, before there were even fish or coral in it! In our 75g we used dry rock and it was just so boring!Wow...that actually looks pretty nice. I'm sure all sorts of stuff will appear over time. That's how it was when I got real live rock years ago.
I know, right! Stocking will definitely be a slow process, but that's the fun part so I don't want it to end too soon anyway!Love the plan. Following. I have a 220 gallon tank now and I dream of a 600, Then i wake up in a cold sweat with the cost of corals and fish to stock it...
Thanks! The weird thing is, both boxes had separate tracking numbers, and the one that wasn't delivered, showed out for delivery, then changed back to "in transit", so I'm pretty sure the delivery driver drove away and then realized he forgot the 2nd box. Or he just didn't feel like picking up two heavy boxes.looks great - too bad about your other box - hopefully it shows up soon. The gorg should do well, it's photosynthetic, give it good flow and good light.
Brute trash can. Currently has 20 gallons of water.Probably wouldn’t hurt, but unsure what percentage. You doing this in the tank or in a tote or can or something ?
10g is what I was thinking too.Maybe do a 10g change since it’s not that much water ?
I think I might cycle in a spare 20g long. That way, I can look at the rock as it cycles
