Just scanning this quick, but I wanted to give you a head's up. I know some have gotten the rock pool crude from PA and had luck. But I recently got some, along with another member on this board and was very disappointed with it. It has a lot of live bacteria for sure, but mine did not have anything else and the other member's tank clouded very much from putting just a little bit in. Like about a pound. And I also have a 75 gallon reef and would NEVER get 20 pounds of it. It literally is mud. Dark and yicky looking. If it's good for something, it would be in a refugium. HTH a little.
