Choosing the
right live rock for your nano reef is very important. It will
be your main source of biological filtration, and will create
the entire look for your nano reef. We recommend Bali Alor as
the best live rock for Nano Tank Aquariums. Alor Liverock is made
from ancient encrusted coral heads, the corals that were broken
in storms, that have fallen and were encrusted with coraline
algae over time. It is very beautiful and very light weight!
The advantages of using Bali Alor Live Rock is the incredible
diversity of coloration, and unique shapes. It is also lighter
than Fiji Premium Live Rock so you need to purchas less rock.
For Alor Live Rock we recommend only 1-1/2 pounds per gallon
where Fiji rock would require 2 pounds or more per gallon to
look the same. For aquascaping, it is acceptable to alter the
shapes and sizes of the rock with a hammer and chisel. This will
not damage the integrity of the rock, nor it's inhabitants. Please,
just make sure you wear safety glasses. Bali Alor Nano
live rock will color up with more unique colors than Fiji rock.
You will see purple, pink, red, yellow, and green coralline algae.
When rocking
your reef tank, it is acceptable to combine a few different islands
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 live rock
weight ordered. All 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.
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. Fiji
rock requires moderate lighting and moderate water movement,
along with the addition of calcium, strontium, iodine, and trace
elements.
Important:
Adding Live Rock to a tank who already has fish or coral in it
? Although
our live rock has been treated ,cleaned, and pre-cured, it is
imperative to do a final cure of any live rock
from any supplier, upon receipt, before it is placed in the display
aquarium that contains fish, coral, or inverts.
