Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Maybe I’ve just never seen nice live rock before, but I had to pull out my camera for the order I got today. I ordered 60lbs of Lalo rock from LiveAquaria.com.
My order arrived as 2 boxes with 6 rocks total. Approx weights: 1 huge 25+ pounder, 1 @ 18, 1 @ 12 and 3 small ones @ 3 - 5lbs. ea. No, I didn't weigh the individual rocks, but I did weigh the entire order (just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off... I got 63 lbs total).
If you figure the cost of rock per gallon you need, the Lalo rock is cheaper per gallon than the "Select Fiji Premium" due to it's lower density. This leads to a cheaper shipping cost. According to their site, you need ~.5lb/gal less of the Lalo rock to do the same thing as the Fiji.
Will all of the sponges and fans die off or will some come back?
All Pics were taken after I rinsed and scrubbed all the rocks. I'll post mor pics if anyone replies.
