    Order 150 lbs from marco rocks, I did last week. Ordered on monday and had it on wednesday. Paid 325 for 150 lbs and got closer to 175. had very little broke, might have 5 lbs of rubble after removing it all from the box. Here is how it looks.

    it will leach chlorine into the water unless you soak it in a dechlorinized water to rid the rock of the bleach

    Chlorine evaporates/off-gases on its own. Exposed to air, chlorine on a rock would be ineffective in no time at all. All you would be left with would be salts :)

    If your in gerogia, id say you will have it the next day. Its excellent pourous rock. Clouded the water a little at first but now my water is crystal clear. If I ever need more rock ill order it from marco.
