Looking for pictures on LR collection

TsjaTTer · 08/06/2009, 05:22 AM

Hi,

in a few months I'll have to give a presentation about live rock, and now I'm trying to collect as much info as possible.

What I'm interested in is:

1) an overview of the different types of live rock from all over the world
2) pictures about the collection process, from the reef over the exporter to the local store. I don't know if anyone has pictures about this process?
3) pictures from the manmade (maricultured) live rock creation process, or hints to companies involved in this process, so that I could contact them and ask for more information

I hope some of you will be able to help me!

Best regards,

Jan

Check out Tamba Bay Saltwater http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/liverock/index.html

The website has a video of them collecting and setting up their live rock farm in the Gulf. I'm not sure if its exactly what you need, but its a start

i know how the whole process works because my dad used to own a fish store and had a friend who knew a family that had a collecting station and owns most of the wholesale stores in miami.
