FIJI LIVE ROCK
Well ... it's back!
Air-freighted Fiji live rock lives again!
Yes, you read right, there is now available
fresh Fiji live rock, which is mostly
covered in that purple coralline we all came
to know and love so well. They are 45-pound boxes.
You no longer have to buy Fiji boat rock.
(See pricing chart below.)
JAVA LIVE ROCK
This new live rock from Indonesia is beautiful ...
very porous and light with great shapes,
as you can see!
Available in approx. 60-pound boxes.
IFIRA LIVE ROCK
Here is a fantastic new
type of Vanuatu live rock.
It's reasonably light, but very sturdy.
As you can see, it's quite covered with multi-colored,
encrusting corallines. Boxes are approx. 40 pounds.
VANUATU LIVE ROCK
Vanuatu live rock is the lightest or
biggest piece per pound of any
live rock available. It doesn't come in
large pieces, though there will be
nice-sized pieces in every box.
Coverage is usually excellent ... and,
in our opinion it's as good or better
as Marshall Islands' ever was.
Check out the blue sponge
that grew out of the this piece ...

BALI ALOR
Alor is usually broken coral pieces,
but sometimes more rocky. Commonly,
it is fully encrusted with corallines
and is often very multi-colored.
Here is some customer feedback regarding Bali Alor ...
"The rock is just fantastic, I am truly amazed at the quality
and variety in this rock. You were right, worth the wait.
I have it in the tank curing away. Just wanted to say thank you for
everything and that I will recommend you to everyone I talk to."

Follow-up note on Mar. 22, '09 ...
The rock is doing great. Just started running the lights for a few
hours a day. Can't wait to see what happens in the next few months.
You guys have exceeded all my expectations so far. Thank you.
BALI XL LIVE ROCK
Finally, some XL live rock again!
Boxes run from 65 to 85 pounds.
They may be ordered in one, two,
or three pieces per box.
(Please specify when ordering.)
Requires extra advanced ordering time.
Special thanks to one of our customers for this wonderful "XL Bali reef" photo!
BALI BLUE RIDGE
(Heliopora Live Rock)
Bali Blue Ridge can be fragile for shipping ...
some breakage can occur and we cannot be held responsible.
IRIAN JAYA
Note: This rock is not only purple, as shown below.
(It is coming in multi-colored now, as shown above.)
Here's some customer feedback regarding Irian Jaya ...
"The Irain Jaya live rock got here to Charlottesville, Virginia
in perfect condition ... I have to say that in the 25 years I have
had a saltwater reef tank, this has been the best rock
I have ever gotten. This is the fifth tank I have
done, and I have had Fiji, Tonga, Kaelini, and Marshall rock ...
the stuff smells like the Ocean just like it should and still
has life on it. This rock is what FRESH ROCK is
all about, it gets no better.... I am extremely pleased
with the whole transaction and would recommend you to
anyone who desires a Reef Tank."

Ordering Notes:
If ordering two different types of Bali rock ...
combinations you will receive the "2 Box" price.
(Send us an e-mail to let us know which types.)
Please note that Bali and Irian Jaya
live rock weights can fluctuate!
And, Irian Jaya weight can be between 75 and 95 pounds ...
so, 75 pounds is an estimate. If your live rock comes in lighter
than the paid estimated weight, you will receive a refund for
the difference immediately. If your live rock comes in heavier
than the estimated amount, a prompt payment for the difference is
expected and appreciated. The legal weight of your live rock
is determined at the place of origin and on the invoice we receive ...
see our article on
Rock Weights.
We ship to just about all major U.S. airports.
To confirm shipping availability to your airport prior
to ordering, just send us an email or give us a call.
We can give you an idea of what your shipping costs
will be based on your airport.
Shipping costs average 50-cents to $1.00 per pound
and are normally under a dollar per pound, with
the exception of some eastern U.S. destinations.
Your shipping will be paid directly to your
airline when you pick up your order.
Leadtimes for the various livestock products
can fluctuate and are dependent on where your
live rock or corals originate from, as the incoming
flights may arrive on different days.
Due to this, ship days may vary.
Also, we place our orders several days
in advance of the incoming shipments.
If your order is placed prior to our ordering day,
your order may arrive in approx. five days
(or sooner), but if your order is placed just
after our ordering day (deadline), your order
will more than likely arrive with the subsequent
incoming shipment, which can be a week+ later.
Also, there can be delays during certain times
of the year. Planning ahead is crucial when
scheduling your livestock order ... if you would
like to find out what the shipping schedules
are in advance of placing your order, just
