k i just called them they are more of a manufacturing plant for the vidarock. they sale to fish stores mostly. But he said give them about a week and you can go down and check it out and buy some from them. They really only sale to one fish store right now The Aquarium in sandy. It is about 5 bucks a pound he said it is real light though. The reason for the waiting a week is they just got up and running again on there assembly line so they dont have alot in stock yet.

When I was down there they had basically nothing to choose from. LIke BnK said, they just remodeled their factory and are starting to build again.
When you call, make sure to tell them you want VidaRock for an aquarium. When I originally called they thought I was talking about buying some of their garden ceramic items. There are two sides to CeramEco, the VidaRock side and the other side that pays the bills. |

Davser, I have a piece that may work for your Pico. Here are a couple pics.    You can also look for other pieces at the aquarium, marine aquatics and I believe Fish 4 You has some as well. If you want something specific look at CeramEco's site in the products section. Pick out a basic shape that you like and then call them and tell them exactly how big you want the piece to be. It takes 2 to 3 weeks to get your piece made, depending on their production schedule, and every piece looks different so the on-line pics aren't exactly what your piece will look like. I don't recommend going down to the shop looking to score some VidaRock as they try not to keep the finished product in house. Orders are produced and shipped out so there is room to make more. I would recommend you contact them if you want a specific piece made and have the time to wait for it's production. As it has been mentioned before this is more of a factory and not a store. ------------- Burt An equal opportunity reefer, I support all hobbyists and organizations involved in Marine Aquarium Keeping.

Here is a pic of the piece in Josh's Pico.  This product is particularly well suited for a small tank because you can get an interesting free standing structure in a small package. It's really hard to stack rock in a pico because of the size constraints. ------------- Burt An equal opportunity reefer, I support all hobbyists and organizations involved in Marine Aquarium Keeping.

I am open to selling the pieces. Send me a PM and we can work something out. The rock is actually made in a variety of colors from dark brown to nearly white. It just depends on the mix they are making at the time and allows you to choose the background color of your piece. Most of it is made in the tan to light gray color. ------------- Burt An equal opportunity reefer, I support all hobbyists and organizations involved in Marine Aquarium Keeping. [email protected] |

Here are a couple shades that I have.  They occasionally do a dark brown color as well but I don't have an example of this. Check out their products page to see some of the colorations. http://www.cerameco.com/products.php - http://www.cerameco.com/products.php Like it has been mentioned earlier when new it looks obviously man made but after a couple months in the tank it looks great.   ------------- Burt An equal opportunity reefer, I support all hobbyists and organizations involved in Marine Aquarium Keeping.
