The recommended amount of Live Rock for an aquarium is 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 pounds per gallon, which will create a beautiful aquascape, and add the biodiversity that many enthusiasts demand in their mini ecosystem. For aquascaping, it is acceptable to alter the shapes and sizes of the rock with a hammer and chisel. This will not damage the integrity of the rock, nor it's inhabitants. This type of live rock is composed of very porous calcium carbonate. Under proper lighting conditions, exposed areas of the live rock will become covered in mostly purple coralline algae.

Fiji Premium Rock is beneficial for both reef aquariums and fish-only tanks.

Many beneficial life forms such as plants, worms, sponges, starfish, crustaceans, and mollusks will appear after several months in the aquarium.

It is imperative to cure the rock again upon receipt, before it is placed in the display aquarium that contains fish, coral, or inverts.
