Cool! I can't wait to hear/see what else you'll find.
That's some nice looking rock! I should've ordered from them! :)
That's some nice looking rock. How much did shipping add to the cost? I'm thinking of getting some after my 75 cycles. I want to have some LR from several different sources and from what I've read here their stuff is great.

The rocks do look good but how much more is it compared to places like LiveAquara?? I got their 45lb (which includes box and all) Fuji Premium package for $150 delivered.
I understand that liveaquaria's rock is uncured though. The prices at TBS were about $3-4 a lb from what I understand. I just wondered how much shipping added.

Thanks everybody, like Dave had said every time I look at it I see something new. I'll get more pictures. The shipping was $50.00 to Islip Airport on Long Island on Southwest airlines. Total weight was 125lbs. It is the 29lb package so I received 29lbs rock and 29lbs sand but it seems like more. I can't wait for the second half but I must show patience. I had gotten 30lbs of Hi rocks which I was planning on as a base but now I don't now unless I hide them. :D

29gl package - $356.00
1st shipment - 50.00
2nd shipment - Probably same $50.00
Calculator
$456.00 - Total

Wow, so the water that the rock and sand was shipped in added an additional 65lbs! That's a lot of additional weight, which means a lot more money for shipping. But it looks like it's well worth it from the pics that you posted.

I think it's $.40 a lb with 100lb minimum. So that's $40.00 than the additional 25lbs - $10.00. I also think I received more than the 29lbs I was supposed to receive but I didn't weigh it. So $10.00 more for the water. Survey says "well worth it"
