I had purchased from Liveaquaria... Fiji Premium. When I got the stuff, it looked like it was bleached rock... I will never order LR from them again.

I then ordered from Tony @ Reefexotics... I have never been happoer with the amount of live stuff on the rocks tony got for me. I would call him if you can arrange to pickup from his house. Definately worth the 1.00 per pound more that I paid.

I will add a picture in a minute, you will see the difference

Rock circled is from Reef Exotics. This has all been in my system for almost 3 months now. The white rock is from Live aquaria and is now just coming to life....

yup FT rock looks like base rock
wow nice LR for a $1 a # @ reefexotics? awesome! which, fiji?


my bad... $1.00 per pound more then at Liveaquaria (was $4.00 per pound)

Reef Exotics was Fiji Premium as well. Only difference was if was purple, with tonds of various algae, and life on it compared to Live Aquarias bleached looking "Fiji Premium"

one of the guys at fishtown actually told me how they treat their rock. I went in looking for 100lbs a year ago because it was a little cheaper than with my store discount. They told me they leave it in the box until they can fit it in that single tank on the floor.......and they claim it's 50-60% cured. Just what they told me figured I'd share.

aww i was hoping to hear it was someone breaking down selling nice rock out of their house at a loss or something. yeah, that purple fiji, i don't know what's happened but most of the other sources' rock is missing it altogether these days. i doubt its just the cold weather. it's gonna take me years to get the rock i just bought purple, i think. with an arsenal of snails and patience.

yeah I wouldnt get rock from fishtown again either i did for my 30g and it was all base rock, i got lucky though that i didnt get a big spike in the tank, but when i upgraded i didnt learn and put some small rocks from there in my sump in the 65g and hence the start of a long 3 months....:mad:
