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. |
