Gamma food is gamma irradiated, therefore eliminating any risk of introducing harmful parasites or bacteria into your aquarium. This also means that the food is completely safe to store in your freezer.
Blister packs are designed to dispense one measured cube of food at a time, leaving the rest of the product sealed within their separate blisters. A quick and convenient way of feeding fish.

Premium Cured Indonesian Live Rock
This photo was taken at Calico, and is a typical example of pieces of rock weighing approximately 8 kilos.
Indonesian rock is very similar to the rock imported from Fiji and Tonga, but it tends to be more porous, making it great value for money.
We only ship our most colourful pieces and always supply a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to create the perfect aquascape.
We are offering our rock at £8.50 per kilo for 5 and 8 kilos and £8.00 per kilo for 10 kilos or more.

After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order. We accept credit card payments. If you are shopping from outside the UK, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to your own currency using their own rates. We accept Visa, Visa Debit, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro & Solo. When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the new price is acceptable. |
