This is how the live rock (Fiji Premium) looks when it comes into our facility. It is usually full of seaweed and mud that needs to be scrubbed and rinsed. Once the weeds, mud & sponge have been cleaned from the rock we then put it in our saltwater holding vats for a minimal of two weeks before the rock is ready to ship, So we do most of the dirty work for you before you receive it.

When the rock is ready it is carefully selected placed in a plastic bag and sealed to keep the rock moist in transit then packed into our box. We do all this to keep the rock as fresh as possible when you receive it.

PLEASE NOTE:  This rock is best in tanks that are starting up with no livestock in them yet.  Although they are cured rock, after shipping you could get an ammonia spike in your tank from the transport.  I always recommend if you have an established system to soak the rock in a large rubbermaid with saltwater and a powerhead for a day or two...just to be sure! 

Fiji Premium Live Rock is the perfect habitat and form of natural filtration in any saltwater aquarium. The pieces broken free from the reefs surrounding Fiji by storms are collected from the intertidal zone of the island.

Fiji Premium rock is a dense rock, with an average size of 10 to 12 inches.  The recommended amount of Live Rock for an aquarium is 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 pounds per gallon. 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. This type of live rock is composed of very porous calcium carbonate. Under proper lighting conditions, exposed areas of the live rock will become covered in mostly purple coralline algae. Fiji Premium Rock is mainly oval or round in shape, and makes a great foundation rock for any marine aquarium.

Fiji Premium Rock is beneficial for both reef aquariums and 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.

Fiji Premium Rock is easy to maintain in the aquarium, and makes an excellent candidate for the beginner to the expert aquarist. This type of rock requires moderate lighting and moderate water movement, along with the addition of calcium, strontium, iodine, and trace elements.
