Cured Indonesian Live Rock
Selected Premium rock is the highest grade of Indonesian rock available. This dense rock is not just your standard "Live Rock". We start by dealing with one of the best collectors in Indonesia, who grades the rock based on shape and coralline algae coverage. Once the rock enters the country we then unpack each and every piece of Premium Rock and sort the rock again. Each piece is then hand picked by our experienced packaging crew based on the overall appearance and coralline algae coverage. The rock is then re-hydrated in fresh synthetic seawater, and carefully packaged in an insulated shipping box. Depending on the location of harvest this rock may be in boulder and oblong shapes, or fused branches of ancient Proites colonies, and is 70-90% covered in Coralline algae on the top or show side of each piece. A small amount of rubble may be present upon receipt of the box as this is normal and is a result of transportation. The rubble can help to seed new aquariums, or can be added to the refugium to establish hiding places for copepods and other micro-fauna.
The average size of each rock in a box varies between 4 and 14 inches. The recommended amount of Live Rock for an aquarium is 1 kilogram per 5 to 8 litres. This amount will create a beautiful aquascape, and add the biodiversity that many enthusiasts demand in their mini ecosystem. 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.
Indonesian Premium Rock will benefit not only reef aquariums, but also fish-only tanks. Live rock will provide a natural food source for some fish, aid in the breakdown of waste produced by aquarium inhabitants, and create a foundation for live corals or decorations in a fish-only aquarium. Many beneficial life forms such as plants, worms, sponges, starfish, crustaceans, and mollusks will appear after several months in the aquarium.
Due to variations within each species, your aquatic life may not look identical to the image provided.
