Post 60,000 is going to be some hugely epic Dr Pepper drinking a Sasquatch post of something! Or maybe he'll save that for 100,000???

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!

UPS to your door, rock will be fine 48hrs just damp, 3 days even ,but pushing it at that point...
Shipping weight $$ is gonna hurt though...

69,000 is the magic # as far as I'm concerned...

Yeah the rock itself was like only 40 something, but shipping was 88$.

But all the good stuff though.

I've definitely used them. So when I sell towels, it's usually 7$ for a single towel from USPS, but with pirate ship it's only 3-4$. Legit savings. And you can also go thru ups or FedEx. They give all the options and you just choose what you want to pay.
And you still drop off where you would normally for whichever carrier you chose.

Best advice in reefing ive ever got

Turns out that Georgia Aquarium does the same thing

Uses it as top off mixed in water for the reef tank.

Nah it was in that video I posted on how they clean their system.

They said they keep some poop and use it to mix in with top off water in the reef.

Frank must've called them up and gave them some advice

Rock is shipped freight cargo so it comes off the plane and is forklifted into a truck, usually to a warehouse or hanger off site.
