They are now just ballast rock piles, as the ships were wood......but there is still gold and silver to be had......but they are all leased out......since the 60"s......

Go to My RC, you can find the private messages you have received there Richard. Heck, you may have a message there from someone wanting to order a million dollars worth of LR

For TBS rock I would have the tank cycled if possible

I also agree with this statement. You really should not be trying to cycle the tank with live rock with the kind of life you get from TBS. I would just get some decent live rock from a decent distributor and let it cycle the tank. then you can add additional pieces later with the more diverse life on it. Like I said before the true best way to get maximum diversity is to get your rock and sand at different times from different vendors.

Okay, I was just reading another thread...and obviously, you're talked about a great deal, Richard...this is a good thing, and I've heard nothing but good things...But this one somewhat has me worried.

I was planning on STARTING my first tank with TBS LR, and this has me concerned. I know that you do your 'The Package' deals in two separate shipments. Does the first shipment that is not coral rich work just fine for first-time tank cycling? I'm figuring that 'The Package' is set up EXACTLY for this kind of first-time tank set-up...but have you run into these kind of problems with first-time cyclings, higher die-off rates and longer cycling times because of the water changes?

Cheers!
