Live Rock came in yesterday.
Ordered LR from Pacific Aqua Farms, Walt Smith's stateside business. Ordered one box each of three types.
48 lbs Fiji Premium
66 lbs Tonga Show Branch
88 lbs Fiji Pukani
All I can say is AWESOME!!! I set up a trough out side to let it perculate for a day or so. Here's two pics of it in the trough. More pics when it goes into the tank.

This is Fiji Pukani and is the nicest rock I've ever seen. All the rock came in very clean. It's a new setup so I could have put it right into the tank but decided to let it perculate first. I did drop three pieces in the tank this afternoon to see if the new brand of skimmer I'm trying is any good. About an hour after putting the rock in, the skimmer started to produce a nice dry foam, not enough to go into the cup yet but it looks like it's going to be a good skimmer. Maybe even a kick butt skimmer as the manufacturer insists.
More pics as progress happens.
