Tampa Bay Saltwater Live Rock/Sand

Mcthies · 01/09/2011, 12:30 AM

Anyone interested purchasing from Tampa Bay Saltwater just pull the trigger. Amazing service and a great quality product!!! Here is the rundown. I placed my order on 1/5/10 at 11:30 pm Richard emailed me at 7:00 am the next morning. Next thing you know the package was on the plane at 11:00 am from Florida to Missouri using Southwest airlines. Now that is what i call superb service. The live rock is ALIVE covered with so many different creatures. Here is a list: Feather Dusters, Decorator/Porcelain Crabs, Chicken Liver, Snails, Hermit Crabs, etc. An extra bonus I found a Black Sea Urchin as well. I have not seen the pistol/mantis shrimp but i can hear him. This is just round one of the package I cannot wait till my cycle is complete so I can email Richard for round two. Traces of ammonia were minimal and nitrites are almost to zero in a couple days. Just performed a 10% water change to be on the safe side but it was not necessary because the ammonia levels were so low. Once I receive round two I will update my review and post pics.

Hey MC how's everything going with the tank, did you ever get part 2?

Jaxom I did receive part two of the order and it was everything i expected plus more. Richard does a great job and i really admire his work. There are people in this biz for the money and then there are people who care and like what they do. Richard is one who really takes pride in his business and work. Very rare these days!!! Once i set another tank up there is no other place i will look. Straight to Richard i will go!!!
