Anyone know why TBS has nothing available?

[PolypPocket]

I went on the website just now to purchase live rock and there’s nothing for sale.

 

[Reef Jedi]

I’m going to guess it’s a glitch on the website?

I will try again tomorrow

Possible they have just been busy and have sold out all of their current stock. Their website is showing late sept-October for next shipments. Possible they may be on vacation…hard to say.

@LiverockRocks <— we can add them and see if they see this thread.


But does mention to email them if you need something sooner.

They do go out to sea a lot. Seems like the best job ever.

Is live rock diving/collecting in the gulf a seasonal activity? Or are they able to do it year round?

Diving for live rock in the Gulf depends on weather. Best collections are done during Spring, Summer & Fall. Winter weather is sporadic for surface operations.

Right? How cool would it be to go with them on one of their rock collecting excursions?!

Same happened to me, I went with Gulf Live Rock and was very happy with my order.

Hey there, thanks for reaching out.

We are in the process of updating the website from front to back, plus adding our newest product, dry Pukani! Yep, we received a 40' container from Fiji a few weeks ago and will sell Pukani both dry in September and live in 2027.

Colossal sizes for monster tanks or institutions!

Large sizes for BIG tanks.

Medium Sizes.

Small Sizes.

And Rubble of course!

Dry Pukani will ship UPS ground.

We harvest from the licensed farm year-round.

Nope, not on vacation here. Instead, we are busy preparing for air cargo shipments, ups orders and local pickups beginning on Monday.

This week the team was harvesting for upcoming orders dodging small storm cells. And we had the warehouse completely rewired for electrical safety! This was a huge undertaking but needed to be addressed.

KP is a solid option.

Exactly!

Pukani has been planted on the TBS farm for a very long time. There are a few remaining vintage pieces still out there, but they are just too heavy / large for a home tank. Super excited to bring this product back as another option for ocean farmed live rock.

1990s TBS Pukani ready to plant.

They are hiring

Do you generally keep a map of where stuff is and stock levels or do the divers just kind of know?
