JohnnyMTB Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Very interesting rock, like the shape of it. Hadn't heard of Brazillian LR before, online deal or LFS? Link to comment
caja Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Funky shapes. Where'd you purchase it? Link to comment
jocole37 Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 its from the lfs where i work at, got it from a local wholesaler who ships the stuff by the tons. not cured though. very good price 4.50lb retail. Link to comment
tylernt Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Cool, I have a 10g with the 96w powerquad and a Whisper HOB too! I guess you're off to a good start. I had the Whisper laying about from my freshwater days, figured I might as well use it. It's empty now of course, but someday I'd like to turn it into a micro fuge. BTW, I've heard many horror stories about Rio pumps... Link to comment
brahm Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 What horror stories? I've got 4 rio pumps so far no problems Link to comment

nemolovesme552 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I like the live rock it looks nice. Link to comment
Pigup Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 i guess south florida stores got a big fat shipment of that kind of rock, i thought it was haitian though...sometimes it smells funny, like rotting stuff... Link to comment
T?@7 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 the small RIOs in my experience have been very non problematic.... the larger ones though... nother story Link to comment
jocole37 Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 actually pigup your right, it is hatian (caribean), it turns out the last shipment we recieved was from brazil (or so im told), but if you really think about it, theres no actuall way of being able to tell where the rock is really from, anyways just wanted to clarify where it was really from. if anybodies interested i can ship some out at good prices (a bit below retail) to most anywhere in the U.S. Just let me know.

Raddogz Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I have had the smaller ones not come back online after a power outage. Link to comment
Mnesarchus Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Doesn't look like Liverock, looks like base rock. Was it smelly? Link to comment
jocole37 Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 yup it smelled, but my question is just simply, do you like the aquascaping/rock? i want opinions. Link to comment
wetworx101 Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I think it looks cool! Link to comment
birdman204 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 It does look cool. Jocole, you can tell alot about where LR came from by the shape it grows in because of the Corals that inhabit those areas, and by the hitchhiker life it contains. Link to comment
jocole37 Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 appreciate it guys, now lets see how it looks when i get some coral in there and a couple of fish. =) Link to comment
