Discount Pricing 40 plus 3.49lb. The price will change in your basket as you increase the quantity. Uncured Hand Picked It is basically the same rock as our cured fiji, the difference is uncured still has dying plants and animals on it, it will slowly decay in the tank during the curing stage. On average this process will take 2-3 weeks. The tank might become cloudy, quite smelly and some rocks might get white decay on them which you need to blow off. The curing time varies greatly with the amount of skimming and water movement. You will save money curing your own rock, but be sure to calculate at least one large 50-75% water change after the curing process and your time into the equation. NOTE: We do not offer the 44 & 88 pound Tranship rock from Fiji anymore that cost $2.25lb. We decided to stop because of so many delays that are involved with that type of ordering and after doing some math, figured out we could save you money and control what you get. A 44 pound box of tranship rock is not 44 pounds of rock, it's 44 pounds including the box, and on average the box doesn't even weigh 44 pounds. I have found that you are lucky to NET 35 pounds of rock. This comes out to 2.80 a pound, we can get you uncured fiji rock for $2.99 a pound in 50lb tranship boxes (2 box min). That is NET weight, we use a Legal For Trade scale to weigh the rock and then add to it to the shipping box. We do not use cheap Postal Scales or bathroom scales to weigh your valuable rock. How to cure: You'll see on most message boards and other dealers that curing this rock in a 30 gallon trash can will work great. I think this is a really big mistake. You can not control the ammonia in such a small volume of water. I would recommend getting as big of water container as you can, or tank. You want a massive skimmer, if you have an extra skimmer throw it on the tank, run as many as you can (unless you have an ETS, that will do the trick). You want strong water circulation, the more the better. You do want to run lights during curing. The reason people say not to is because you can't control ammonia and nutrients in a small trash can. If you get enough skimmer and water volume you can. Do water changes as needed. Syphon off all dead debrie you can find, pull off any dead sponges, plants etc. I personally do not scrub the rock, i try and save anything that looks "ify". If you can control these elements during the curing (2-3 weeks) and keep the lights on, you'll have a great rock when you are done, complete with coralline algae, plants, corals, copepods, misc critters, all the goodies you need for the reef tank.

3 Best Fiji LR Around, but it's no Kaelini	03/06/2008 - by Dustin from Uniontown, OH US
This is by far the best Fiji Live Rock around, however, I purchased 40 lbs of Fiji and 50 lbs of Kaelini from PA, and the Kaelini from PA was far superior. In regards to the fiji it had great color, and even some hard corals on it (thank you!!!), however was dense as all Fiji is and for the most part boulder-like like most Fiji is. I recieved several small pieces (about 4-5"), a little rubble from shipping, and 2 Large Pieces (I requested all large if possible, but I understand as I also requested lots of life which I indeed got in the form of corals etc. Thanks you PA). However, PA's Kaelini had tons of color and shapes that would make even the most advanced aquariast drool, and a 15 lb piece of Kaelini is almost twice the size as a 15 lb piece of Fiji, so you need less Kaelini to fill a tank. So in summary PA's Fiji is an A+ in my book for Fiji Live Rock but a C- when compared to PA's Kaelini Live Rock which I feel is far superior. Premium Aquatics Live Rock and customer service rocks!!
5 Great Rock!!!	02/10/2008 - by Michael Prescott from Cumming, GA US
Ordered 80 lbs. of live rock. Looked great out of the box. A few broken pieces but nothing major. Cured quickly. Great color, size and shape. I was very pleased with the price, including shipping was half the price of anything available locally. Will use them again when ready to begin adding corals and fish. Thanks for a great product at a reasonable price!
5 Great Price. Great Rock.	01/26/2008 - by Dennis K. from Clay, NY US
Great looking rock. Got exactly what I ordered. Some of the best I have seen around. Packaging was nice. Shipping was fast and you can not beat the price. Great company to deal with. Took my tank only 2 weeks to cycle with 75lbs I ordered. My next rock order will be from here as well.
4 Great rock, especially for the price.	09/18/2007 - by Ryan Mann from Chesterton, IN US
I picked mine out myself... they have a great variety. There was lots of coraline and plenty of life on this rock. I was lucky and got one rock full of peanut worms (more than 15 of them) and another rock with what I think is a spaghetti worm living in it, button polyp (yes, just one:) and many tiny/small snails. I plan to make another trip there soon...
5 A+	03/28/2007 - by Matt Ries from Hammond, WI US
Got what I requested! Very nice rock. Better shapes then expected. Thanks for picking great rocks! Will order more with that great of service. March 28th 2007.
5 GREAT!!!!!!!! 5+	12/27/2006 - by Bobby A. from Springdale, AR US
Thsi rock is great. Lots of coraline on most pieces that were green, purple, and bit of pick here and there. Asked for a lot of caves and got them with Figi portion of my order (10lbs Kaelini/10lbs Figi). I think this beats the Kaelini hands down. Plan on buying this next time by itself. For the price it is the best. I live in the 2 day shipping range for UPS, and I got a total of 34lbs shipped for under $11.00. My hat's off to you Premium Aquatics, you have yourself a regular customer:)
