funny thing i saw at LFS

[gr_reefer]

ok i am at a LFS in the detroit area yesterday and i saw something advertised as "new" on the shelf. this was advertised as a "new" kind of life rock. this was actually... and i kid you not) base rock that was painted purple to simulate coraline. i almost laughed my head off. they even wanted $3.00/#. i guess the additional $2.00/# more was to cover the cost of the paints. this one has to take the cake as the all time funniest. i think it was p.t. barnum that said "a sucker is born every minute".

Walt Smith's new cultured rock is also dyed purple

Bill:

Yeah, the material used to make Walt's base rock is dyed purple.

Then it sits out on the reef for a while and grows REAL corraline algae and other goodies on it.

Unless of course Walt is now selling the pure dry base-rock. Is that what you meant?

Cheers
James

I thought the answer is obviously enough....."a sucker is born very minute"....

The cement they use in their Agrocrete has an admix in it, so the cement is pink not white. Maybe a little Too pink though.

This stuff has actually been around for about 2 years. It's Carib-Sea Reef Rock, with purple and green paint specks. They call it "Look Alive".

We bought a box to use in static display tanks. I.e., one of the tanks for sale, set up with this and fake corals, but no water.

That's about all it's good for.
