We carry 8 different types of
live rock, coming from many locations around the world. Differences
in the rock physical make up from area to area, make for different
coraline algae colors to become the dominant colors as the rock
matures in your tank. For example, Fiji live rock is predominantly
covered with a purple coraline growth once matured, Tonga , and
Carribbean live rock is more rainbow colored, and Marshall Island
live rock, has more red , orange, and yellow coraline algae growth
than the others.
 |
We purchase only the
nicest live rock from some of the best sources. Once collected,
all our Live Rock is placed in high current ocean vats, not just
misted with water. We make sure it is flown off the island, not
shipped which other suppliers do, (often shipping live rock by
boat delays shipments from 4-6 weeks). We then treat our live
rock in 600 gallon vats with the right chemistry and large skimmers
, it's an almost zero ammonia enviroment for our live rock to
thrive in. This removes unwanted organisms, while adding nourishment
to the existing life forms we wish to have flourish. |

Fiji Live Rock
comes from the oceans off the island of Fiji. It is one of the
most popular live rocks for building reef tanks and aquarium
live rock tanks due to it's high capacity for bacteria growth.
Once established in your reef tank the predominant colors will
be dark purples and some orange. Live Rock is an absolute nescessity
for all saltwater aquariums. The live rock acts like living filters
and increases your success of keeping marine life healthy ten
fold over tanks that are without live rock.
There are a number
of reasons why Fiji Live Rock has become so popular with aquarists.
Besides the nice look it has, the porous surface and crevices
of Fiji Live Rock causes it to have an increased surface area,
which results in tremendous surface area for all the micro and
macro life to form, flourish, and multiply on.
The recommended
amount of Fiji Live Rock for an aquarium is 1-1/2 to 2 pounds
per gallon. This amount will create a beautiful aquascape, and
add the correct surface area for a healthy ecosystem. Fiji Premium
Live Rock is mainly oval shapes, and makes a great foundation
rock for any marine aquarium. For aquascaping, it is acceptable
to alter the shapes and sizes of the live rock with a hammer
and chisel. This will not damage the integrity of the live rock,
nor it's inhabitants. Please, just make sure you wear safety
glasses. |

Tonga live rock
was made famous for it's BRANCH ROCK... it is large branches
of mostly Pocillopora, or Porites, or even Acropora, that died,
and then were encrusted with coralline algae. They are predominantly
reddish and orange, with purple or other color highlights. The
live rock "braches", are usually 11/2 - 2" in diameter, and often "Y"
shaped. Excellent for building layers and shelves in your reef

Tonga Slab or Shelf
Live Rock
|
|
|
The second type
of Tonga rock , less common (and less seen), SHELF rock is a
large head of table top, or brush Acropora, that has died, and
been encrusted with corallines of many colors. The "disks"
or "heads" are usually from 8-10" to 14-16"
across (some of each in every box), and a couple of inches thick
top to bottom. The head is broken off at the base. So you get
a thick frisbee shaped acropora head, fully encrusted . It makes
excellent platforms on which to place your coral specimens. |

Ultra Tonga Live Rock
|
|
|
Ultra Tonga live
rock is beautiful rock. It is harvested right around the coral
reefs themselves. Therefore Ultra Tonga is made from the corals
that were broken in storms, that have fallen and were encrusted
with coraline over time. Stunningly beautiful!
|

live rock consists of ancient encrusted coral heads. The advantages
of using Tonga Ultra Live Rock is the incredible diversity of
coloration, and unique shapes. It is also lighter than Fiji Premium
Rock. For Tonga Ultra Live Rock we recommend 1 to 1-1/2 pounds
per gallon. 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. Tonga
Ultra live rock will color up with more unique colors than Fiji
rock. You will see purple, pink, red, yellow, and green coralline
algae.
Note: If your tank contains fish, corals or invertebrates
already, before adding your new delivery of live rock, (cured
or uncured), please be sure to do a final cure, just as a precaution. |

Beautiful Namoli Live Rock |
|
Namoli live rock has the best shape
we've seen. Very lacey, beautiful shapes.
|
Namoli Live Rock is live rock that
consists of ancient encrusted acropora heads. The advantages
of using Namoli Live Rock is the incredible lacey look it has,
and the diversity of coloration. It is also lighter. For Namoli
Live Rock we recommend 11/2 to 2 pounds per gallon. 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.
Namoli live rock will color
up with more unique colors than Fiji rock. You will see purple,
pink, red, yellow, and green coralline algae. |
"I received
my Namoli live rock order this week and put it in the tank. All
that I can say is AMAZING. I have a few friends that were getting live rock
at the same time that I was looking. I let them get theirs first,
then I selected to call you. I am so glad that I did the Namoli
Live Rock was better than anything that I have seen online or
in a store (I traveled over 200 miles looking at more than 25
stores). Although all live rock (I think) is very expensive,
the rock I purchased from you was well worth it. There are all
kinds of beneficial critters, macroalgae everywhere and coraline
covers 80-90% of the rock. Keep up the good work. If you take
as much care with your fish as you do your rock, I will never
order or purchase from anyone else! Thanks again!"

BEAUTIFUL
CORALINE COLORS |
|
|
We have finally
found a caribbean live rock collector that meets our high standards. This live rock is actually ancient caribbean 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 Fiji,
Tonga or Marshall Island, is that the caribbean rock is more
plated or sheets. Some people like this look, some people don't.
Caribbean live rock has many open areas due to its plating structure
which will enable the aquarium to have better circulation, and
a natural appearance. |
