WHAT IS LIVE ROCK?
Live rock is fragmented pieces of old coral reefs that broke off during storms or by wave action. These pieces then washed into shallower water where they were naturally colonized by marine life such as invertebrates, corals, sponges, and millions of beneficial nitrifying bacteria.
WHERE DOES LIVE ROCK COME FROM?
Live rock can be found anywhere in the world's oceans where natural reefs occur. Live rock from different regions have slightly different characteristics including form, density, porosity, as well as the type of organisms that colonize them. However, all live rock is beneficial in providing supplemental biological filtration, increased biological diversity, structure, and shelter.
WHAT IS CURING?
Curing is a process designed to acclimate live rock to conditions found in home aquariums. Keep in mind that live rock is "alive" with an abundance of various marine plants and animals. Extensive filtration and large water changes help remove pollutants generated by organisms that did not survive the shipping process. Curing is a hardening process that removes dead or decaying material so more resilient species can flourish.
WHY CURE LIVE ROCK?
Live rock must be properly cured to create a healthy aquatic environment. The biodiversity found on all transported live rock undergo some degree of natural die off, especially delicate or damaged fauna and flora. As these encrusting organisms go through this process, they produce a large amount of waste materials. Without proper curing, pollutants, and toxic compounds such as ammonia are released into the water and compromise the health of your entire aquarium system.
