Dude we did those tiles in our last bathroom, the teal light blue ones. looked like sea shells

we had those from floor and decor! I carried all 12 boxes into the house! Then my wife found these bluer ones and I got to carry all 12 of the other boxes out to return and carry the new ones in! I am very familiar with how much they weigh!
I got 3 coats of sealant on the front will seal their backs tomorrow.
What pattern did you do with yours?

like a glove! dry-fit successful!

While searching for live rock, stumbled across usliverock.com. Has anyone heard of these people or ever used them?

Prices are better and shipping included. I was looking at 20lbs rock and 10lbs sand for 200$.

Why does this seem too good to be true?

Never heard of them… you’re safe with a credit card for at least 30 days if it doesn’t show up

Into the process of the usliverock people, I don't think they keep the pulled rock wet. I've watched all thier videos, and thoroughly read thier website, and it looks like they keep the fresh pulled live rock in baskets, then go to shore where they cure the rock in-house. That sounds like a lot of die off.

I'm looking to start a new system, I just evicted the freshwater fishies, and I wanted to try real live rock. I wanted the most I could afford. I don't think air cargo is for me, the closest pick up airport is 3 hrs one way. Plus it's a huge international busy AF place that I want no part of.

So the TBS treasure chest to my door option looks like what I'm doing. Only 8lbs at a time though. Is 8lbs enough to seed other dry rock?

Looking to house an eel in the tank.

@Lowell Lemon , do I remember you mentioning something about wholesale hookups a while ago? Do you have access to live rock at all? Maybe I'm wrong, it happens a lot.

My closest freight airport is Spokane international, and that place is busy. And not designed for big as-$ trucks like mine. I drive a lifted super duty and it can be difficult in many scenarios, especially busy high traffic, tiny parking areas like airports. The thought of going there gives me anxiety.

But the want for high quality live rock is real.

Curse you small town!! Always making me go far for cool stuff!
