The lid I ordered from Krakenreef.com came in today. The measurements I provided them were very tight and had me a little worried at first, but upon fitting it, found they've made it spot on with very tight tolerances. I like the clean look and the two piece design incase I only need to reach...

I think it really depends on what ones goal is when purchasing. The pics on SWA are pretty transparent as to how this rock looks. Nothing showstopping about it, but if the goal is to diversify one's biome, I do find it of value. I think it's great for the hobby, as most of our options have...

Seeing how much rock came in has me concerned, as I still have another 17lbs en route. Once I get it all in and cycled, I may be selling off the bigger pieces I don't need or can't fit. Still to come: Aussie LR from Premiumaquatics.com TBS LR and sand

4) SWA Indo rock Initial impressions was 5 lbs was alot more than I anticipated. Not much algae on them, and that may be for the better. Almost appeared to be precleaned of some of the nasties..The shapes were cool, very lightweight and porus. It came well packed with a heatpack. No water, but...

Starting the tank with dry rock has been definitely different that all other previous tanks. Bacteria blooms seemingly last forever and cast an eternal haze on things...although Its currently running with no lights, I can see this becoming problematic when I start to introduce livestock and...

I was able to get my order last Thursday..had them in an observation tank for a while to check for any pest..ill be posting thoughts on it soon

I married someone with a similar temperament

I'm still getting caught up on your current build! PG&E going to LOVE you! Lol.. While plumbing on the EXT version was easy, getting the overflow box to seal properly was a PITA. Glad you went with the INT, although it takes up some space..one less thing you have to worry about leaking.

That's how I recall the terms as well.

Short cures were still weeks long. 60 lb. Boxes of Totoka & Vanuatu rock cost the same as a 5lb order of what's currently available. It always came in damp and smelling like hot butt, but had all sorts of crap on it. Waiting for all of it to die off took forever. My garage would smell like...

The indo from SWA ships wet wrapped. Even if fresh out their holding tank, I'd imagine there would be some die off. Same with the Aussie LR from aquarium Specialty. TBS , KP (select ones), and aquabiomics ship their product in water. I'd probably feel more comfortable adding these to my tank...

Yea, I got a bunch of points with SWA I've been itching to use and figure it'll add to the diversity. I got some aussie rock coming in from aquarium specialty as well, so I'll be going thru a curing cycle anyway.

SWA emailed me back and clarified the shipping. Fedex overnight is INCLUDED in the price, meaning you can choose the free shipping option and checkout and incur no additional charge. The $40 box fee also does not apply in this case. Total for the 5lb minimum order during the sale comes out to...

Just the section pictured.

I went down this rabbithole with my contractor after telling him I needed the corner of my room to support around a ton. Dude looked at me crazy and ended up bringing in a structural engineer to map things out for us. I ended up with a metal plate and an eternally cold floor in my tank area...

The price dropped by $3 for the presidents day sale..still on the high side if your buying 7 lbs or less. There's a $40 fee on top of the shipping if the order is < $179. Worth it if you're getting other livestock or enough rock to avoid the $40 box fee.

Beautiful build...well put together and clean. You can't go wrong with UNS..looking forward to see how this comes out

Good lookin out! First time I've seen them have this in stock.

The QT can't look nice...id be too tempted to leave it up if it was, and as is, I already catch enough crap for having one tank lol Hopefully that's the case and I won't have to use it. I opted to buy one of their "treasure chest" so the amount added is pretty small. I'd imagine, with time...

Water has been gradually clearing up after adding a bottle of PNS and as I sat looking at the tank before lights on, noticed that the sun comes in hard through the skylight in the room. It pans through the scape from as early as 9am through 12. I have the photo period set to start at 1pm through...
