You could always go to the boston reefers site and ask him there i see him on there pretty often.

Guys Im in Boston now. I will be going over there on Saturday to pick mine up. If you can get in touch with him LMK if I have the room ill pick it up for you Nothing crazy though lol. Since ill be bringing home 200lbs for myself. I dont wanna weigh down my truck too much and waste gas

 

[jejton]

Thanks for the offer but I wouldnt be able to meet you in SI. How about just asking him when our orders are getting out ?

 

[jejton]

I just spoke with Marc and he told me they are working on getting all the Fiji rock backorders out today and Monday. If you ordered that you'll receive a shipping notice in your email. Next week he'll be working on getting more nylon rods, and other aquascaping supplies.

I've ordered marco rock in the past and have been very happy with it, I will also say I have ordered the eco rox from bulk reef supply and was very happy with that as well, Two different types of rock too which was cool for diversity.

 

[nyfireman3097]

actually I spoke to them about there eco rock its the same exact thing. They get it frpom the same place also

 

[Tonyscoots84]

hey nick whats the matter u cant sleep. ur that anxious to get ur rocks tom... as i said u iz outta ur mind :lol2:

 

[gnatp2]

I went ahead and ordered eco rocks from bulkreefsupply as marc never got back to me and apparently is having massive back-order issues.

[nyfireman3097]

[Tonyscoots84]

ur out of ur mind u crackhead :lol2: nick did 200lbs of that stuff end up being alot of rock :biggrin:

I really like the look of marco rocks. I visited the eco rox site and googled up some other forums where folks posted pics and did a very general comparison. I think I'll order up 10lbs of australian spaghetti, and see how I like it. If its a good try I'll get more for a project I want to do.

Though, has anyone used eco rox/reef bulk supply 2 part system? You can get 2 gallons of cal, alk and Mg for 50$ and it gives you cool pump bottles and salt mix! I need more reviews of that before I really consider it though.

 

[nyfireman3097]

I only ended up with 120lbs give or take. But I designed my aquascape there with the rocks to my satisfaction. The spagetti rock he said is more dense and heavier not as good as the fiji FWIW

I ALSO ASKED THIS QUESTION IN A DIFFERENT THREAD...B/C IT WAS RELEVANT FOR BOTH. Sorryif this annoys ppl....Still waiting for an answer.

I dont get it....arent marco rocks completely new, without any life at all on them ever?
There was never anything living or dead on these rocks, correct?
How can they cycle when there is nothing in them? I thought the cycle happened b/c of die off, which causes a spike in...nitrates,etc, which leads to a spike in amonnia....

Why would these marco rocks cause a cycle?

 

[Killerdrgn]

The Marco rock's i'm sure comes from coral beds that are found on land, so i'm sure at one point in time they were alive. That being said I don't think you can cycle a tank with just marco rock, but it can cause a cycle with established rock since there is still junk on them and things can still leach out of it.
I'm not an expert on marco rock, i'm just saying what I think.

 

[rookie07]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh...thanks...I didnt know they were ever in saltwater...thanks
