Contemplating making an order for some rock and sand. I don't really need that much, wondering if anyone else out there needs some & we could combine a shipment.
If you're looking for the biological benefits of their product, the sand is by far the way to go. I've purchased from them multiple times and always grab some, even if I don't terribly need sand. Pound for pound, it has FAR more surface area than the rock, is cheaper per pound than rock, and has basically no risk of unwanted hitchhikers. While I love the look and benefits of their rock, the sand is great way to boost your ecosystem on a budget.I wasn’t even thinking about sand. I could use around 10 lbs of sand as well
I think a lot of biodiversity died off in the gulf with warm waters this past year. I wonder what the rock looks like underwater right now. Cyano?Sweet. Ok, I reached out & they are out of premium live rock right now, should have some in a month or so. When it comes back in stock I'll reach out & we'll put an order in.
That's a fair point. I heard Florida waters got to something stupid like 90 degrees in certain area. I wonder how that's going to effect things.I think a lot of biodiversity died off in the gulf with warm waters this past year. I wonder what the rock looks like underwater right now. Cyano?
From what I have seen in posts on other forums, TBS, KP, and the other companies are harvesting very nice rock. Probably why they are sold out!Contemplating making an order for some rock and sand.

Good call I’ll go heavier on the sand when we orderIf you're looking for the biological benefits of their product, the sand is by far the way to go.

I got a bunch of tiny pistol shrimps and crabs tooI picked up a piece of KP rock a few weeks ago and put it in a small tank to see what came with it. Can’t believe how many fireworms/bristle worms were in that thing
Any update on this?Contemplating making an order for some rock and sand. I don't really need that much, wondering if anyone else out there needs some & we could combine a shipment.
Not yet. I reached out to them & they said they would notify me when the premium rock was available. As soon as I hear from them I'll post here so we can organize an order.Any update on this?
"Don't" .... new phrase code for its okay, according to our administration ... like Cody said the sand is the biodiversity haven. The trick is not to expose it to air, not even for a second. Thats how precious the biodiversity is. I've been to TBS and went through the whole process from start to finish. Gas the boat @4am and finish off with Cuban sandwiches when done @2 pm. They have/had a 5000 gallon cryptic tank to act as the deep water sand/micro/macrofauna when rocks were in the holding facility. This kept the bacteria alive. The KP firewoms I'm still pulling from a stagnant tank high salinity are 1' these guys bore thru the rocks. That's why you see such nice looking little holes.Not yet.
