Huge branches By Steve on 4/12/13

Ordered only a few pounds of tonga to accent pukani and was surprised by the large size as I was expecting thin brittle pieces. Lfs had tonga for 4 x the cost and didn't look nearly as good.

this stuff is heavy, but it gives the aquarium a unique look. I ordered 15 pounds and got 4 nice pieces. I probably should have gotten more. I used this as a supplement to my dry rock. Fast and very reasonable shipping.

I am setting up a new tank and ordered 10lbs of this to suppliment my initial layout of fiji... This was my first order from BRS, and I am very impressed. Packed extremely well, no broken peices. They gave me 2 large pieces with beautiful porous branches. It goes well against a fiji base. Will order more of this later.

Great rock By Colin on 1/16/13

I ordered the simple multi branching and got some great looking rock. It's a great mix of overall smooth and a couple pieces of twisted, gnarly looking rock. I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to incorporate it into my aquascape yet, but it should make it a lot more interesting!

I ordered the simple multi branch rock and it is far from simple. I love the encrusted shells and great shape. It is a great piece to the aquascape.

Loved this Rock By Christine on 11/20/12

The pieces we got were awesome. I ordered all the rock for my tank from BRS and was able to make a great build. With the tonga, there were a few pieces that broke off, but I easily put them back together with some epoxy. The piece was so exquisite and intricate though that I do not think it could have been shipped any other way. They bubble wrap it and everything. I was a little nervous since this is the first time I was ordering rock from BRS, but I have no regrets and was 100% satisfied. I don't think I could have ever found pieces like this anywhere else and I am very picky. It was a great selection.

One of a kind By Subodh on 10/20/12

I ordered a large 20+" large BRS Tonga live rock and boy, was it beautiful! So beautiful that my local LFS wanted to come by and help me aquas-cape for free. I also ordered a large 20"+ shelf which was beautiful but so big that I had to take a hammer and break it. The complex multi branch is kinda misfit in the sense its still almost like a tree branch with a few divisive branches. As someone said in the reviews above, if your intention is to make a wall, these are not the best pieces to do it. These pieces look more like tree branch(es) that set your aquas-cape apart from every other aquarium out there. Very nice, clean, white, heavy but porous rock with no pests in it. I say no pests because the rock was so clean I put it directly into my tank with other live rock in it. I don't suggest you do that but its telling about how sparkling and good quality the rock comes in. I wish there was a way I could upload pictures or at least link to the pictures in here to show what a great buy this is.
I have one peeve though. Thank you BRS guys for packing the rock so well, it could have survived an earthquake! Nothing was broken but there were so many packing peanuts I had to use two weeks worth of recycle collection schedules for disposing them off. I don't really know if I should blame you guys for protecting my precious rock or blame California for their stupid recycling limits. :) But seriously, so much protection for a piece of dry rock? :)
Overall, this is a great product for those who want to introduce arches, tree like branches or just somethign different than plain simple stacking. would definitely recommend if you're into open aqua-scaping rather than croud-scaping.

Awesome! By loyalhero90 on 10/12/12

I have bought tonga from BRS twice and every time the rock was beautiful and just what I ordered. The rock was heavy but porous and was perfect to aquascape hills, caves or just really cool structures.
