Benny Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hey there everyone, I am organizing a groupbuy through CeramEco for a nice amount of VidaRock. PM me with any questions or with a list of what you are interested in, There is no time limit as of yet. "With VidaRock, the ulta-porous, bioactive, ceramic reef rock the limits of your aquascape are only your imagination. We form the porous ceramic material into beautiful shapes to meet your aquascaping requirements. Choose the VidaRock option that best fits your needs." "Please note that because of its optimized porosity, Vida Rock will give you 1/3 more volume per pound than typical live rock. Vida Rock is also sold dry so you do not pay for water weight. It comes standard in our signature reef color, but is also available in rust red and dark brown by special order." $250.00=20% off $400.00=25% off Arch, Grotto, Column, Cobble, Knife, Plate Large - $56.00 Medium - $34.00 Small - $21.00 Pico - $15.00 Bonsai, Branch Large - $76.00 Medium - $48.00 Small - $30.00 Pico - $20.00 Frag Stations 8 and 12 Hole - $28.00 Barnacle Large - $14.00 Medium - $10.00 Small - $5.00 3 Pack - $26.00 Stack pack - 20lb of assorted Cobbles and/or Plates - Assorted Sizes. Cobbles/Plates, Cobbles, Plates - $140.00 Arch "Here Vida Rock sculptors recreate one of mother nature’s grandest creations, the Arch. Each piece is sculpted by hand giving the artists room to create the unexpected while maintaining the simple elegance of the arch structure. A perfect centerpiece for any aquarium. Watch fish swim in and out of the archway or hide out in one of the many nooks and crannies found below. Grotto "The Grotto is an aquascaping favorite. The Cave like structure allows for plenty of hideout space yet still retains some openness. It’s anyone’s guess which aquatic creature will make it home." Column "The perfect focal piece for taller and cube aquariums. Abundant coral sites help turn the VidaRock column into a towering reef brimming with life. Multiple openings in the tower allow fish and other reef creatures to swim through or find refuge in the piece." Cobble "Attractive enough to stand alone but best when used in combination with other pieces, the Cobble is a versatile reef building block. Protruding ledges on each piece help lock pieces together when stacking. Great for creating the more traditional massive reef structures." Knife "Reaching upward the VidaRock Knife bucks the trend of traditional aquascapes. A great piece for the aquascaping maverick, The Knife shape adds to the vertical aesthetics to your scape. Purposely designed with less horizontal coral sites this piece is excellent for fish only aquariums." Plate "A must have in the aquascapers tool chest, the Plate has unlimited uses. Great for stacking and creating shelves, overhangs and ledges. Great when stacked in combination with the cobble shape or used alone to create sprawling low profile reef structures." Bonsai "Concieved by the VidaRock sculptors the Bonsai shape makes possible a whole new style of aquascape. Inspired by the Japanese art form of sculpting miniature trees, the Bonsai shape invokes the zen feel. Drawing on the key principles of Bonsai aesthetics VidaRock sculptors incorporate asymmetry, proportion and attempt to leave no trace of the artist in each piece." Branch "The Branch is perhaps the most versatile of all the Artisan Shapes. Individual branch pieces stacked mesh together seamlessy to create amazing reef structures. Flattened pads at the tips of the branching arms create ample coral sites. Branches stacked together create tunnels and passageways that help stimulate and mimic the flurry of real reef life activity." Frag Station "Showcase your most prized corals with a VidaRock Frag Station. Simply place the station in your tank and let it become part of your reef environment. Each frag station is artisan scultpted preserving the uniqueness of your reef environment. Each station is equipped with 1/2″ receptacle holes that will hold secure the VidaRock Frag Plug or any frag plug with post up to 3/8″. Move and swap frags easily while maintaining the aesthetics of your reef." Plug Options(waiting on pricing) Barnacle "The Barnacle is the most popular of the VidaRock accent pieces. Concived by the VidaRock sculpting team, It will add another dimension to any reef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jestep Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Cool. I was going to ask you about your rock in your thread. How do you like it so far? What sizes did you order? I actually don't know the sizes that I got. I would guess they were medium, medium+. I got them from a different retailer who didn't post the size conversion. One is roughly 11"x8"x12", the long one is something like 8 x 8 x 16 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 I am under the impression he is a direct line, From what I understand he travels alot hence the terrible response times. I will keep everyone updated as soon as I get new info. Really sorry about the wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 This is frustrating. I was hoping to get these rocks in this week or next. I've broken down my tank and everything is sitting in tubs. Maybe they don't have enough supply to keep up with demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mel in Elgin Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Is there maybe another company with a similar product? I was really looking forward to this too, but starting to get impatient... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I got mine from http://aqua-tecture.com/. Their stock is pretty low right now, so there may be a supply issue all around. Their stock is as shown on the site though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
