Saltybottom live rock order

[Coral2Coral]

Can you find out how much each piece typically weighs? E.g. what a 6"x6"x6" rock of theirs usually weighs

Just got this back from Saltybottom. Please let me know what you guys prefer. Thanks.

Okay cool. I’m throwing the rocks in my sump so 10LB preferably of smaller pieces like 1-2LB each if they could accommodate that?

Make sure you guys follow their pest protocols. I think Tampa Bay has the best write up. But I haven’t read it in years.

Got it! Depending if Darkxerox is still interested and his preference size, will probably place the order early next week.

Will definitely read up again on that. Thanks.

I think I'll be into some smaller pieces of the 1-2lb each (maybe 3), and ideally one of any 2-3lb ones with like 1-2in diameter holes/branches for fish to hide in. Just trying to avoid any cement brick type of rocks if possible.

They have a really nice mix of inverts available too. Put me down for 3 money cowries. Maybe 3 pitho crabs as well.

Ok, will look into ordering the 30 lbs submerged and requesting smaller less dense ones. Thanks.

This is about half the rock in my desk nanocube (old Tonga branch on the right is slightly more gray). Lots of life: oysters, cup corals, tunicates, sponges, crabs, baby urchins, astreas, curlicue anemones, possible pistol or mantis shrimp, etc. Zero decay smell either. Really recommend this rock for anyone needing to seed a new tank. The rest is in my main tank's refugium now.

Awesome and agree there’s tons of life on them! Live ocean rock all the way for seeding and biodiversity.
