What an amazing weekend the TBS team had at Reef-A-Palooza Orlando!

Underneath the tin roof booth, were 5 display aquariums, stickers galore, pop rock candy, lots o merch, WYSWYG nano rocks for sale and a rock guessing game. The winner needed to be closest to the number of rocks in the jar. Over 200 folks documented their guesses, and the results are finally in!

Can you guess how many rocks are in this tiny jar?

5lb Rubble Rox Box
They are the perfect size for AIO chambers, media reactors or nano displays. The diversity of lifeforms on a 3" (average size) rock is amazing! The 5lb Rubble Box ships UPS next day air for $58. Find them in the Treasure Chest category.

Couple close up photos of Rubble Rock.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Wanted to share the 122 airports that we ship to. If you are considering 20lbs or more of rock, then air cargo is the way to go. It is easy and the least expensive way to move ocean farmed live rock across the country. Email us for a quote.

"Real Live Rock ships underwater!"

"You read how folks get their live rock delivered via ground service wrapped in wet newspapers. They experience dead and stressed live rock…and curing…and other nuisance issues. This defeats the whole purpose of growing and shipping the highest quality live rock on the planet! This is REAL live rock that arrives alive.

Add it directly to your tank with no issues: no curing, no fuss and no muss.” -Richard Londeree 6/15

TBS ocean farmed Rubble Rock is a great multipurpose Live Rock!
It is the perfect live rock for an overflow box, to seed a refugium or add to the display.

Plain and simple on the outside surface but packed with goodness on the inside. TBS farmed rock provides denitrifying bacteria, microscopic clean-up crews and a stress reducing natural environment for your aquarium inhabitants. These little live rocks can be placed in media baskets, reactors, filter chambers, overflows, or sump compartments.

Rubble is an excellent venue for gluing coral frags, too!

Add Rubble to the back chambers of Innovative Marine tanks, BioCubes, Fiji Cubes, Fluvals, JBJs, Red Seas and many others. It can also be used in GEO's cryptic reactor.

Each rock is diver harvested fresh from our farm.

TBS Rubble Rock - 20lbs + Air Cargo Shipping
TBS Rubble Rock - 8lbs UPS Shipping

TBS Rubble Rock - 5lbs UPS Shipping

Check out this lovely Premium Walt Smith Honeycomb Slab. An excellent example of the diversity provided by ocean farmed manmade rock. Tampa Bay Saltwater Live Rock

IMG_5183.jpg

Red grape & Gracilaria macro algae, various sponges, various tunicates, barnacles, corallines and bivalves are all living on this one rock. There was also a hitchhiking tiger goby and ruby mithrax crab on it.

Each rock is hand selected and carefully transported from the Gulf of Mexico to our holding system. Where it acclimates a few days to 2 weeks before shipping.

Assuming those are the best looking pieces, what percentage of rock shipped looks like that?

Rock pictured above was randomly taken from a premium rock holding tank.

They are categorized as either premium or base by Jocelyn, who selects each one from the ocean bottom and from the holding system when packing orders.

Each rock varies greatly, we do our best to document variety on the website and also on Instagram/Facebook.

Considering a media reactor like Geo's Cryptic / Biological Reactor? @geo

We offer micro rocks perfectly sized for reactors. Tiny bits of Rubble meticulously gathered from the farm are packed with micro sized organisms that will kick start any biological reactor or canister filter.
Whether you are temporarily housing fish using a canister filter system or if you are adding equipment to an elaborate sps system; TBS is here to ROCK.

*Order TBS Rubble Rock - 5lbs UPS Shipping and mention in the order notes, the Rubble is for a reactor.
