Mine is scheduled to land Monday

 

[Haddonisreef]

Mine was sechduled to be delivered tomorrow but had fed ex hold at hub and picked up this morning. Looks good like 5 good size pieces but did have a bunch of small rubble also.

 

[jda123]

Mine came today. I am happy. I got some nice sized stuff and then the normal 1/2 gallon of rubble that I will cure in a bucket and put in my fuge. It seems like they did a good job of washing most of the organics off of it. I might order a few more boxes.

Here are the contents of 1 box, minus the rubble:

I assume that everybody know that you cannot just put this right into your tank?

@jda123 i put mine in a trough w other dry rock I’m tryen to seed that shops be ok don’t ya think?

 

[jda123]

Sure. as long as an ammonia and nitrite spike cannot kill anything.

My only worry there is that the dry/dead rock might have all kinds of bound phosphate that could move over to this rock, which is probably phosphate free. This is not the end of the world and a few pounds of GFO could probably get rid of it all.

Would u recomend gfo in bags or threw a reactor?

 

[jda123]

Reactor, but wait until it is done curing. Since you just put the fresh rock in, test the PO4 in the container really quick before the ammonia rises. This will give you a baseline of how much PO4 is bound it the dead/dry rock.

 

[jda123]

FWIW - this stuff is curing quite nicely. They did a good job of removing most of the decaying organics. I am very pleased

Box of rock came in today. Had that nice ocean smell when I cut the box open.
