Live Rock - Mixed Cured Timora/Kaelini arriving today

MrAnderson · 08-21-2008, 09:10 AM

I'm looking to get rid of some rock which is arriving today from Premium Aquatics, because they're sending me cured instead of uncured.

I'll be putting it straight into buckets of water as soon as it arrives, and I'll save the packing material if needed for transport.

Local pickup, Orange County NY. With shipping I paid $302 for 45lbs.

Selling for $200, obo. really, make an offer...

or else it goes in the garbage.

Why would you chuck cured rock? You could always use it to seed the uncured stuff and speed up the cycling...Just a thought...

I was able to refuse shipment.

Cured rock is unsuitable for my purposes (extracting DNA from marine bacteria). I need something as close to a natural sample as possible. The last time around PA was able to get me rock within 4 days from ocean to my door, and it looked it.

I apologize for jumping the gun, mods please close.
