The nicest
quality Caribbean live rock is actually ancient elkhorn and other
coral heads that have been reencrusted over with coralline algae,
sponges, tunicates, macro algaes, and other interesting invertebrates.
The biggest difference between Caribbean Live Rock and other
types of live rock is that the Caribbean rock has more plated
and convulated shapes then the boldery forms normally associated
with Fiji Live Rock. Caribbean live rock has many open areas
due to its structure which will enable the aquarium to have better
circulation, and a natural appearance. It also alows plenty of
locations to place corals.
When rocking
your reef tank with Caribbean Live rock and other types, it is
acceptable to combine a few different islands live rock. You may also alter the
sizes and shape of your live rock with a hammer and chisel. This
will not damage the integrity of the rock, nor it's inhabitants.
Please be careful to wear eye protection if you are chiseling
live rock.
You pay only
for the weight of the live rock, not the weight of the packaging.
Unlike
some other online dealers, Aquatic Connection Live does not count
the box and all packaging materials as part of the Caribbean
live rock weight ordered. All live rock orders are handpicked
, then hand packaged, first wrapped in plastic and paper for
cushioning, then we pack all orders in a styrofoam container
and styro foamies for extra cushioning.
Caribbean
Live Rock is easy to maintain in either a reef or fish only aquarium,
and makes an excellent addition for both the beginner or experienced
aquarist. Live
rock requires moderate lighting and moderate water movement,
along with the addition of calcium, strontium, iodine, and trace
elements to color up nicely and maintain its beautiful ocean
coloration.
