Holy Cow!!!!
My question is...was it dry? Talk about taking the value out of it! Hope they throw away the key!
"Officials first began looking into Wenzek earlier in 2007 when a federal customs agent in Portland came across a shipment whose manifest stated it was rock, broken gravel and coral sand. The agent felt it looked more like chunks of coral and sent it back to the Philippines but kept some for analysis — which later turned up an endangered species of coral." ------------- http://www.customaquariumfurniture.com" rel="nofollow - Bad "censored" Cabinets Best quality in the valley!

Anyone know what ever happened with the Caribsea "issues" with Haitian rock/coral that surfaced a few years back?

From what I understand on this issue, is it was all sand. There were no live corals. It was reactor media. But exporting/importing is still controlled because it is old coral skeletons. Kim |
