    Just wondering if anyone has had experience with GARF and what your thoughts are?

    Considering the live sand activator specifically... and then in a month or two i was thinking about giving their 7 frag for $100 special a try.

    Experience?

    I have received some grunge before, a friend of mine split it with me. It is pretty ugly, ok for a refugium (kind of coarse though for denitrification) but otherwise I would throw it out. Leroy is a very nice guy though, pleasure to talk too. This is what it looked like basically when I got it too:

    I have used the grunge never had a tank cycle so fast as it did with the grunge it comes in 3 different sizes, and i have also gotten coral packs and clean up crews from them always had grate service. and i think if you look the coral pack is 8 plugs with 16 different corals for 100.00 + shipping for softies. in fact my next order is going to come from there.

    I've bought some grunge from them, mixed it in with alot of fine sand. Really like it. Leroy is a nice guy, and chances are you'll get alot more than you expecting from them. In my grunge order I got 3 types of macro algae, 3 frags of zoanthids, and other various things.

    +1 to them
