I love all the rock I picked up. I even picked up a nice piece for my nano tank.

My LFS @uniquecorals
In my 90g I have a mix of Solomon Island and Aussie rock, all from @uniquecorals The first pic shows an awesome branching table Aussie piece and the nano has one tabling Aussie piece,
My stuff is absolutely amazing. Could not be happier with it. Cleanest live rock I’ve ever had. Has sponge and gorgeous coraline growing on it, some macroalgae that came in on it is still alive and thriving . I bought 70 pounds of a mix of aussie branch and boulder style live rock from pristine marine aquariums from Jason. I bought 50 pounds from him and 20 pounds from unique. I thought his stuff had the most unique and cool shapes and would work with you on exactly what shapes and sizes you want. Not a single pest came in on this stuff. My tank has been up and running now since early September. I cured it in a separate tank for about 7-8 weeks prior to aquascaping and filling my main display up with water. With this live rock plus ocean direct live sand and pods, I had sps and an anemone by month 3
Great looking pieces! His stuff is literally the best out there. You definitely get what you pay for with his aussie rockJust got 13 lbs of some of Jason's (Pristine Marine Aquariums) latest shipment of Australia live rock. Super light and beautiful corraline on it.
Liked mine also....other than the Peacock Mantis that came with it for free.
I guess I'll have to observe it while it cures for a while.

I found a couple gorilla crabs in mine, but that's why you cure it in a separate container. Time to set up a species only tank for that Peacock. Those things are fun to watch.

You guys have to cure it?
Yes. I would for a min just to make sure it’s cycle out and pest mitigation
I'm not sure if I have to but it will give me time to observe the rock for unwanted hitchhikers. The rock smells fresh but there is probably some die off on it.

I understand. Here we get fresh Indonesian live rock (best rock in the world in my opinion) but sometimes I'll still wait before directly adding it to watch for pests. (Just in a bowl of saltwater and a crab trap usually).
Must b nice. Lol

I really am incredibly grateful to have access like I do to it. If I could send some to you guys I'd be more than happy to do so. Shipping might be a little pricey though...
I appreciate you bro.

$25 a pound seems ridiculously expensive but honestly if i were there and that's the only rock available from that side of the world I'd probably get a little bit myself. The price just seems crazy but i guess it is what it is.
