I'm ordering a couple of 500lbs orders of rock in 2 weeks time. 500 and then another 500 the next week. I'm getting really premium rock and will pick it up directly at the airport because of the weight. It is pulled from the gulf and shipped in water so it's about the best rock you can get. Very, very little die off.
If anyone is interested in picking some up but doesn't want to order a minimum 100 lbs let me know and you can piggy back on my order. If you want to stop by and see the first batch I get in (Bordentown) you are welcome to do so and then decide for yourself if you want to order it. I'll also know the exact price per pound including shipping after the first order. Depending on how much I've aquascaped or the type/size pieces you're looking for I might even let some people pick from my first order.

Our box of rock didn't make the order for whatever reason so we took a mix of everything. Sorta hodge podge. Honestly? I have NO idea what any of it is! Some nice looking pieces though. One of these days I'll have to scrape the debris off of it and get it ready to go in the tank! 
oh cool Phyl
you got the best, you get to taste all the flavors. Cool. Can't want to see what your tank will look like once you get that rock in it. Is it going into a new tank?

Hey
at least you have help, I'll be doing mines alone, really I prefer it that way, lol. My wife isn't about to touch anything in or from that tank, lol. If I had the loot, I would just go buy a 125 or 160 and stand, and start a new tank. But, my wife has me on a budget, and I took all her plastic, lol, well I left her one to get gas with. We are trying to buy a house, got to watch the money flow. So, no new tank till she gets a new house. In the meantime, I'll just re-scape my current tank, add some more coral, get rid of some hoodlums Damsels and a active shrimp, and get my angels, and start anew. Post pics of you cleaning the rock, could be good for others to reference, namely ME, LOL.

Edwin,
Haven't done much with it yet. Like John, I haven't been in a rush to get it in 'production.' Last weekend I did a major water change. Just tested and the water and the levels all look good.
I haven't seen any major life (yet) exept that there is a patch of coral that looks promising. Most of it was broken off before shipping. I just hope there's enough life left in it to make a comeback.
I'll post some pictures when there's something interesting to show.
Ken.
