how heavy is the TBS rock?
I already have 120 or so pounds of live rock, they do not have alot of life, only pods, bristle worms mainly.. I want some nice good stuff like what I see in these tbs rock pictures, but could only afford to get 10 or so pounds of it right now. I was wondering how many rocks that would give? Is this rock very dense and heavy? or porous and overal light?
thanks! |

I just received half of a 50 lb order and it was 1 huge rock and 2 softball sized rocks, so yes very dense. The stuff that is on this rock is amazing. I have 2 porcelain crabs on the one rock, a very colorful very small mantis and a variety of snales and such.
This rock really is worth the extra money, you just do not get the life forms on the fiji. (the extra life may be deemed a burden by some and a in my case a bonus)

TBS, do you do only 10 pound orders? maybe I could get 10 pounds at a time or something and add more as I am able to afford it.
