Why You Should ALWAYS Check Your Delivery Before The Trucker Leaves

[flyfisher2]

It's still expensive. Don't kid yourself. Even dry base rock. It's the same for all of us and the worst part is that's mined right here in Florida. The quarries don't sell small quantities so.... The Garden centers sell Florida field rock with shells encrusted on it as landscaping stone. I have a pile of it out back and I'm gonna hose it and soak it in Chlorine for a few days. Would love to see if its Reef safe. I'm sure testing for phosphates will be primary concern. It's no where near as porous as the stuff we buy for the tanks but I'd love to know if it's usable. And that stuff is cheap.

I know that dry rock isn't worth buying really.
I posted too early.
I knew a few people who would drill holes into the rock to add more porous textures

I would do that after you clean it up. You could probably chisel some pieces as well.

It’s soaking in bleach

That looks just like the stuff the pet store in las cruces sold. 100%. I hated it.

But if you know how to work with it, you could turn it into something nice. I took a large 15lb one and broke it up. Was surprised at the inside look. Bristle worms loved it.

Lets see how it works. As I said, it came from the landscaper pile. Pukani it's not! I want to clean it and break it up and hon my aquascaping skills. If it works it's good, If not I'll call it art and put it on the cocktail table. LOL

At least something will come of it. Finally got the sink fixed. Time to kick back and relax with the husband!

I can't help it. They are amazing life forms who are very under appreciated. I have 4 to 5 fireworms in my tank, no they aren't your normal common bristle. They are amazing scavangers. I have a black and white bobbit worm. Haven't seen her in awhile. She loves GHA. I need to buy another rock from my lfs that is covered in it. She's exceptionally shy and quick. Grazes mostly when lights are off. I keep trying to get her on camera.
Being able to watch all the critters is just one of the best parts of this hobby for me. Sure corals are nice. Fish all have different personalities and can give me a laugh. I could probably turn this into 10 pages. But I wont.
I get to make cinnamon rolls for lunch and watch my little one do his happy dance. He loves home made cinnamon rolls.
I'm happy I got my sink back. LOL

I'm sorry. Just now saw your post. You should see my Aiptasia eating nudibranch that came in today. Those things look like aliens. Been playing catch up all day with the existing tanks. Too much time on the build and not enough on the existing stuff. You remind me of my deceased wife Eve. She would get up in the middle of the night with an infrared flashlight and look for weird stuff in the rocks.
Catch you tomorrow.

Too bad I didn't know more bug lovers. Seems to be rare in all trades. Sounds like Eve was an amazing person.
I hope your aips never come back!
