What is Aquacultured ““Live Rock””?
Aquacultured “Live Rock” is the magnificent end-result of our multi-year reef-building efforts in South Florida and now in the Florida Keys.
We have 600,000 pounds of Florida limestone product that was hand set 10 years ago in 25 feet of water offshore of Islamorada, Florida in the clear waters of the Florida Keys. Each time we harvest rock, we add rock that was hand sorted at our quarry in South Florida to the existing Mariculture site. This limestone is transported to all of our offshore lease sites in preparation for becoming true “Live Rock”, thus creating a sustainable harvest site in the most beautiful waters of the United States. This benefits not only the oceans reef inhabitants, but also our reef tank enthusiasts from beginners to seasoned experts!
The rock is matured on the ocean floor, harvested year-round and transported fresh off the sea bed to our constant flow holding tanks awaiting shipment to our customers.

Live Rock USA and Live Rock Inc may be new to the Live Rock industry but have specific goals and unique products that we want to tell you about. The time when the economy is tightening up would not be a time to begin a new business venture without something that makes a difference. Our products make a difference and our prices are very attractive.
The philosophy of LiveRockUSA and Live Rock Inc. existed long before the company was established. The philosophy and objectives were very well-defined. Engage in commerce and make a stand for the environment. The founder of Live Rock Inc, is also the visionary behind the Atlantis Reef Project, a man-made reef, located offshore of Key Biscayne Florida. www.reefbuildersint.com . Reef protection for this group started long ago.
Creating reefs by adding new reef material is one way to help protect our oceans. Another way is to undertake a business initiative that helps stop the destruction of natural reefs no matter where they are located. Destruction of natural reefs must be stopped now.
People love fish tanks for good reasons just as I do. They are beautiful and mesmerizing in the home, office or public places. The foundation of a great saltwater aquarium is the Live Rock Aquascape. Because of the US demand for Live Rock, aquarium Live Rock is being harvested from the natural reefs of some foreign countries with no regard for the long term damage.. Destroying reefs to create an economy for a small amount of native inhabitants on an island is not a satisfactory explanation of why these reefs are being destroyed. The intentional destruction of natural reefs should be prohibited everywhere in the world before the damage is irreversible. Importation of natural reef material should be banned. Our oceans are in trouble and every reef is important. Because it is not in our back yard and they are not our own natural reefs does not mean that we will not feel the loss here at home. We will!
At Live Rock Inc, our objective is to provide quality Live Rock created through Aquaculture and Mariculture initiatives. We will attempt to fulfill the demand of Live Rock through the entrepreneurial efforts here at home at prices similar to those of the imported Live Rock. It then makes good sense to purchase your products through companies in the United States that can meet your needs and support the protection of our reefs. We hope that you will support the initiatives to ban the destruction of the natural reefs of the world for profit without regard to the long-term consequences.
How do you package and ship "Live Rock"?
We typically ship using the FedEx because of the low cost of these heavy packages. The services of an overnight shipping company should be used to ship live rock from our warehouse location to your door if you can afford the extra cost. FedEx is faster than UPS.
Can I pick up rock at your Florida Keys warehouse instead of incurring shipping costs?
We definitely welcome walk in customers but ask that you call ahead to set up the time. When you are here we will provide you free of charge up to 100 gallons of saltwater.
Do you ship outside the US?
Yes we do but only where FedEx operations are available. Our main focus is on supplying North American markets. Our aquaculture supply is intended to provide the hobbyist with quality live rock while curbing the destruction of natural reefs. The destruction of natural reefs in other parts of the world, in the name of profit, should not be supported by anyone that loves the aquarium hobby. As our source material increases, we will then ship to other locations. We will look to establish one supplier per country in our plan for expansion.
When will my rock arrive?
We only ship live rock on Monday or Tuesday. This will guarantee the shortest period of time between our tank and your tank. It makes no sense to ship late in the week and have your rock sit in a warehouse over the weekend. We have had great success shipping this way.
Getting Ocean Fresh Live Rock
Live Rock is the most important component of the marine aquarium. All of our live rock is produced through aquaculture efforts. The objective is to prevent the importation of Live Rock that is taken from the worlds natural reefs. Currently, on our aquaculture leases, LiveRockUSA produces a coralline algae encrusted, biologically active rock that is a perfect foundation for the saltwater aquarium. LiveRockUSA has several offshore aquaculture leases in the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys. This guarantees you will receive genuine Live Rock fresh from the bays and oceans where aquaculture efforts are dedicated to providing a homegrown superior product.
