Anybody ordered live rock from ReeferMadness?

Has anyone ordered live rock from Reefer Madness? I am looking at the Premium Fiji to start my tank. I'd like some feedback on the place if possible. At $4 a pound it looks like a good deal, but you never know.

I haven't ordered live rock from them but they have an awwesome rep for their corals. Keep in mind that live rock will ship at about $1 per pound, a bit cheaper if you pick it up (and it will stay out of the cold longer) if you pick it up at the airport, rather than shipping it all the wy to your house. I have had rock drop shipped to the GSP airport and literally had it in curing vats within 36 hours of being removed from the ocean (not often though, easier in Cali, hard to do on the East Coast).

They have awesome rock go for it.

i guess you need to cure these rocks before they go into a tank, huh?

I was checking out the corals on that site and they seem to be high priced.

The prices include shipping and they have a $150 minimum order for coral.

Have never dealt with them but you may want to look at Premium aquatics. They are in Indianapolis and i am in Arizona and i had my rock in my tank 8 hours from the time it left their tank to be boxed. If you ship airport to airport the cost is pretty cheap and you can get it quickly after the flight lands and not have a die off. i ordered their cured rock and I did not have another cycle from this rock. The colors were great and had several clams, zooanthids, and other life included free of charge...

I've ordered rock from them and they sent me some really nice pieces. I would recommend extensive curing of the rock in the dark. Mine stank for weeks (I cured it in the new tank). And I lit it too early and had a bubble algae and some sort of brown wafer algae explosion.
