SWF.com lr?

[damselsrck]

How is the live rock that they sell here at swf.com? size/coloring are really the two questions I have about quality. Thanks!

type this information in the search area and you will find plenty of pictures of the rock. Everything i have seen and heard says that it is very good rock.

I love my LR from SWF.com
There are some pics here on my thread. I did add a couple extra rocks from my LFS.

Awesome! I think you will be very happy with the rock you receive. Everything that I have ever gotten from SWF.com has com in great looking and healthy.

Update:
Ok, I have had the rock curing for about a week and a half.
I only tested the Ammonia and Nitrite levels tonight. They were:
Ammonia: .50 ppm
Nitrite: 2.0 ppm
Soo... I've got some more waiting/water changes to do, but I can't wait to get the rock into the tank; it's gorgeous!

Not to jack the thread but I have a related question. Im about to order 25lbs of fiji from swf and I was wonder if u can add a note to swf to request certain rocks based on lb.? Like say if I want four 5lb rocks?

 

[d0 thy d3w]

probably not...u probbaly just get what they send...but ya never know..

 

[damselsrck]

I don't think you can request specific sizes. I Got the 45 lb box, and am very pleased with what they sent. I got a good mix of rocks, about 4 large ones, 6 medium, and a few small ones. (small being about 3 inches across)

There is actually a place when you place an order where you can put special instructions. You could specifiy your preference for rock sizes there. I don't know for sure if they will honor it but I don't see why they wouldnt.

Yea I want to order the 25 lbs but I really only want pieces that are say like 6" by 6" max my tank is like 48"x13"....Idk I guess if they were bigger it wouldnt matter that much, i just need to fill up the right amount of space.
Did they ship ur rock overnight?

 

[damselsrck]

Yes, they did. My only warning is, be ready early. I checked when it was going to arrive and it said 7 PM, so I was getting ready (that day) around 11:00 AM.. when the delivery truck came with the box.. it all worked out well, just had to rush around more than I'd like. So, if you end up ordering, be sure you're ready for the rock the morning it should arrive, even if it's expected to arrive in the evening.
