If those pictures are straight from Fiji,
you should state that in your website that those
pictures were taken IN FIJI, not when they arrived.
(The photos are taken in L.A., not Fiji.)
Look I'm not trying to be a mean
person here, but there is clearly
a huge difference.
There is maybe 5% coralline algae
on the rocks I purchased.
I told you that there were two pieces
that looked okay. The others are huge chunks.
I ordered the smaller sized rocks.
If I wouldn't have done that dip, I would have
never found that coral and sand bed critter
eating snail. It was too small for me to see.
I still believe this was false advertisement.
I hear www.anotherrockseller.com has
great customer service.
Isn't there anything you can do or you're willing
to do to help me out here?
I did not double the dose of the SG.
That's crazy.
Damselblue says she did a dip of 1.035.
In an e-mail to Birdfish, she also explained how she
had been trying to raise the specific gravity (SG) in her tank ...
"The SG in the tank is only at 1.023.
I couldn't raise it higher. It wouldn't raise
even when I put more salt in. After the rock
was in there, I put one more cup of salt in the tank.
Do you think I shouldn't have done that ...?"
Does it really seem that Birdfish's comments
of "water nearly twice as salty as the ocean"
and "double salinity" are crazy?
What about the water where Damselblue poured
the salt directly in without dissolving it first?
I bet that was pretty salty!
Birdfish also told me to keep
the rock in a low salinity which
people say to keep it at least 1.025.
He says 1.021.
I'm only at 1.023, so I'm sorry,
but I didn't over do it here.
Damselblue seems to feel that the website
recommendations for CURING live rock are incorrect
and continues to confuse keeping a tank versus
curing live rock. Your first couple of tanks of
water will be quickly thrown out via water changes!
I just think you should try to help me
out a little bit here.
Go read that post where that poor guy was
shorted 25 pounds. He ordered 75 pounds
and was shipped 50. He was told that was
probably water weight. Well, he was still
shorted 25 pounds and you were not
willing to work with him either.
Is Damselblue sure of this??
Look, I don't earn a lot of money, I'm not rich
like a lot of people or well off. I saved for
months and months to get this rock.
Then to have it coming in
looking like base rock ??
Base rock ??
LadyOctopus said it looks
COMPLETELY like base rock.
She has been reefing for 10 years and
worked at various stores that
get live rock shipments in.
I'm sorry, but this really makes
me sick to my stomach.
You guys might think I'm too upset,
but I believe I am not.
Neither does LadyOctopus or
other people on the forums.
I have been trying to set this
tank up since April of last year.
I just want something with the
great coralline algae like in your pics.
That's it.
Give me something good.
Something at least
half ways decent with life.
What else can I say except ...
.... ::::cry
 .......
.... sorry go to that other site and
read their information.
They recommended it.
I've heard of other people doing it.
I did not leave it in there for hours.
Just a couple of minutes to get any possible
mantis shrimp out, coral eating worms, and snails.
I didn't do it a long time.
I don't see how I could have killed all my life.
Whooooo said that??
I'm telling you those bugs looked like
bugs that you see outside walking around
in the grass or something.
Not marine bugs.
::::::::::Cry I'm just so sad.
