Thanks for the comments!
I've really been happy with the TBS rock, I'll be ordering some more in the future. When you get it, make sure you've got your skimmer ready to go and some water for water changes ready. Too much of an ammonia spike will kill a lot of the good stuff on the rocks, they ship the rocks quickly (picked mine up at the airport about 7 hours after he shipped) and immersed in water rather than covered in newspaper so most of the life survives the trip. My ammonia never went above 0.2, but I had the water ready just in case. I only bought the 20 gallon "package", I'm sure the 55 package probably would have caused a bigger spike (110# of live rock vs. 40#). Incidentally, I added enough live sand on to the order to fill the 55, the 20 package comes with 20# so I added another 35#.
