I started a new thread when I got serious about the Hatian rock and didn't get a reply. I'm pretty comfortable with my research at this time. http://www.3reef.com/cgi-bin/yabb/Ya...2381;start=4#4
Thanks! | |

The oceanproaquatics's own website has bunch of complaints from customers in the FAQ area about it being rubble when ordered and white without much color. I sent them an email question and was forwarded to that area. quite a shock. happy I didn't order from them. | |

I got the figi. I have ordered twice from them. Very happy with the quality and quantity. About half purple coraline coverage. Very light rock with intresting shapes with some caves and natural shelves. I was very impressed.

Sipe the HiRock or Walt Smith?
Anyway, I got the HiRock in. It's OK, but I'm not too impressed. Shipping was shoddy. Just rocks in a box. No packing material. Rocks have iffy shape. I wouldn't disagree with the word rubble. After washing in a utility sink there had to be 1/2" of sand and mud left in the bottom of the sink after draining. It will do it's job and given a good home will eventually grow.
I wouldn't recommend them. | |
