DF&S Live rock

kawicivic · 09/08/2007, 10:41 PM

just wondering if anyone had any experience with DF&S Caribbean live rock? My friend has it and has not noticed many hitchhikers... his tank is still curing so it may be a little premature. I am working on setting up a new tank and want to get rock with some different forms of life. Ideally I would get TBS rock but cant swing it at the moment...

so really i just want to know what kind of life people have got from this rock and how long it takes to show more life (sponges, critters, corals, etc)?

It really is a crap shoot unless you get pure 100 % uncurred live rock.
Alot depends on the degree of curring in the LFS---and what they mean by Curred.
It depends a good deal on how it was harvested and transported.
