Live Rock Source

One side effect of the weather and also C19 is this. The live rock will be aging each day like a fine bottle of wine. You know the ones that you buy two of and open one to drink and mark the second bottle to drink in five years What was already a good wine is suddenly 10x better due to the age (assuming it is a good wine and stored correctly).

The live rock situation that both TBS and KP have right now is also similar as with bad weather creatures need new homes to ride the storm out. The rocks and how they are stored support this life. The rock people will be getting is going to be crazy good.

Honestly. Anyone who gets the rocks next year is going to have probably the best rock every. Seriously. The potential is huge.

KP Aquatics no longer has the message up on their site saying they are out of rock! Hopefully I’ll be ready to place an order next week.

GulfLiveRock is the 3rd aquacultured rock merchant - they offer a similar product to TBS and KPA - and can either ship damp, or ship in water.


I bought 35lbs from them about a month ago, and am happy with the rock. They do seem to be a one-man-show though, and communication/etc was terrible. But they're your best shot.

I've been real happy with Gulfliverock and have bought quite a bit from them this year. But they do seem to be running on island time so be very direct and as clear as possible commuinicating with them.

got to say .........I just got my rock yesterday from Salty Bottom. I was super impressed with the quality of rock and the amount of coralline. I got 40 pounds of each, live rock and the cheaper coralline live rock. Just outstanding.

Looks nice. I see a few corals on it, maybe a tunicate, urchin and some nice Halimeda.
