Cured Indonesian Marine Live Rock

20kg boxes of High Quality Cured Indonesian Marine Live Rock.

If you are looking to buy live rock for your coral reef aquarium, then you have come to the right place!

We stock up to 3 tonnes of Indonesian marine live rock, 2 tonnes of which is cured and ready for sale.

For those of you who haven't seen Indonesian rock before, it's very similar to the rock imported from Fiji and Tonga. However, Indonesian rock tends to be more porous.

How does marine live rock work?

The quality of all live rock is determined by age and porosity. The outer light baring area is inhabited by photophilous organisms and macro micro algae, where as the unlit outer area supports photophobic life such as sponge, tunicates and crustaceans. Towards the core, numerous bacterial colonies thrive, whilst the core itself is home to nitrate reducing anaerobic bacteria that flourish in the dark, low oxygen environment.

This complex array of organisms provide marine live rock with unique filtration capabilities and when used in the correct quantity (half a kilo per gallon minimum) will delicately balance all types of marine ecosystem, providing the finest filtration money can buy.

When live rock arrives it is unpacked, cleaned and placed in huge salt water vats where a surface area die off process takes place. The rock completes the nitrogen cycle, replenishing the outer layers destroyed by transportation. This curing process can take up to five weeks.

Cured Indonesian Living Rock

As you can see from the photograph, our marine live rock is very colourful and supports an impressive array of life. We also have a variety of different shapes and sizes to help create the perfect aquascape for your tropical fish aquarium. A standard 20kg box will contain small to medium pieces suitable for a 36 to 60 inch saltwater aquarium. If you require larger pieces please mail us and we will select some larger pieces for your tank.

Due to the impractically high cost of transporting marine live rock immersed in water, it is kept moist in wax boxes. This has proved to be a very successful way of maintaining premium quality marine live rock, the perfect natural system for a living reef in saltwater fish tanks.
