Things to Remember Using "Real" Live Rock

• Always consider the rock "un-cured". This means that there is a very strong possibility that there will be die-off when adding to your tank. Expect a ammonia/nitrite spike and a possible odor. Curing rock can take up to a few weeks.
• There is a good possibility of there being hitchhikers on the rock. Good and Bad. While we attempt to get rid of the obvious ones, we won't get them all We recommend either putting it into a heated and filtered holding container or at the very least carefully examining it prior to adding it to an existing aquarium.

• If adding to an existing aquarium, add a small amount at a time to help minimize ammonia spikes.
• Live Rock is only shipped through airlines or overnight courier. It is live - not sterile.
• Live Rock is exempt from all free shipping promotions
