How much rock do I need?
Knowing exactly how much Dry Live Rock you will need can be one of the hardest questions to answer since every tank and rock will be slightly different. A general guideline for Tonga Shelf Dry Live Rock, we suggest 1 pound of rock per gallon of display tank volume and may vary depending on your overall goal for the aquascape. We always recommend purchasing a little extra dry rock to ensure that you will have enough to complete the aquascape you are looking for, any extra rock can always be broken up and placed in your refugium, overflows, and sump for added filtration.
Rock Selection: Due to the wide variety of unique sizes and shape of this rock it is impossible to fulfill orders to exact dimensions, but we are happy to make every attempt to get as close as possible if you leave notes on what you are looking for in the order comments section of the checkout. Shelf with base will normally be a big heavier than traditional shelf rock considering the base or stem that is attached. The minimum order is 15 pounds which are the smallest Shelf with Base rocks that are available.
Picking: When ordering rock any notes for size, shape, or concerns can be left in the "Order Comments" field during check-out step #3. Our picking department will do the best to follow the notes on the order.
Shipping Notes: Tonga Shelf can be fragile. BRS makes every effort to securely pack the Tonga Shelf. However, the UPS automation is not always gentle on heavy products like this, and they do not consider this product insurable. Because of this, there is some inherent risk with shipping rock like this across the country, and it is impossible to replace or refund broken pieces. If this happens most, pieces can be repaired with epoxy.
Note: Dry live rock is not available for shipment to Canada due to high tariffs. Please consider Reef Saver rock as this is not subject to these fees and our favorite of the dry rocks available.
