Wholesale Live Rock

Become a distributor of ARC Reef products:

We offer competitive wholesale pricing and volume discounts on Live Rock, Dry Rock, and Coralline Algae. If you run an aquarium retailer, local fish store, or online storefront, get in touch to set up an account. Carry distinctive, fully aquacultured live rock at wholesale rates while supporting U.S. reef conservation — every product we ship is grown or harvested under state and federal aquaculture licenses here in Florida. Even with limited holding space, you may qualify for our scheduled-delivery bulk programs (weekly or monthly drop-ins direct to your storefront), and online retailers can use our drop-ship option to skip holding-tank space entirely.

    Dry Rock Wholesale

    • Premium aquacultured dry rock. Our wholesale dry rock is the lowest-density aquacultured option available — ultra-white, free of dense minerals and metals, and 100% silica-free. It’s mined sustainably from a freshwater aquifer (where it sat curing for thousands of years before we ever touched it), then cleaned and steam-sanitized at high pressure. We pre-drill multiple 1/2″ holes in every piece to accept coral frag plugs. No other wholesale supplier puts dry rock through this four-step process.
    • No curing required. Because the rock originates from a freshwater aquifer, it’s effectively been curing for millennia before harvest. Drop it into a system, and it’s ready to use.
    • Built-in conservation. 20% of proceeds from every sale fund our offshore reef-rebuilding work. Your customers’ purchases directly support marine restoration.

    Coralline Algae Wholesale

    • Two bulk product lines. Purple Helix Coralline Algae (7 species) and Pink Fusion Coralline Algae (6 species). Each bottle treats up to 50 gallons, and the two formulations can be combined for broader species coverage.
    • Excellent for new tank cycling. Every bottle includes live, marine-evolved nitrifying bacteria — not the shelf-stable generic strains found in long-life products. Generic bacteria eventually get out-competed and replaced by marine-specific species anyway, often forcing the tank through multiple soft cycles. Starting with the correct species shortens the cycle time and avoids that succession.
    • Equally effective on mature tanks. Every species we seed is highly epiphytic — it actively crowds out nuisance algae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria while adding color and biodiversity. The result is a healthier, more stable system that’s easier to maintain.
    • Buy-back guarantee on expired stock. Live products carry inherent shelf-life risk. We absorb that risk by buying back any bottle that expires in your possession — what we call the “triple win”: you don’t eat the cost of expiring inventory, your customer always gets the freshest product available, and we maintain our reputation for quality.
    • Three tiers of volume discounts. Wholesale pricing scales from 20% to 40% off, depending on order volume.
    • Built-in conservation. 20% of proceeds fund offshore reef rebuilding. Florida sits on the world’s third-largest reef tract and has lost over 85% of its coral cover in the past 20 years — your customers’ purchases support targeted restoration using selectively bred coral colonies that show greater resilience to environmental stress.

    Live Rock Wholesale

    • 100% aquacultured. We’re a state and federally licensed aquaculture facility (NOAA Permit AQU-069, FWC WD-190448, FDOA AQ0223588). For every pound of live rock we sell, we plant 10 pounds of new reef material offshore. Your customers know they’re supporting the reefs, not depleting them.
    • Minimal curing required. Unlike Fiji or Pukani imports, ARC Reef live rock typically goes straight into display tanks — ready to sell without weeks of die-off curing.
    • Reliable U.S. supply chain. We ship from Miami six days a week. No customs delays, no CITES quotas, no canceled orders. Set up scheduled delivery or order as needed.
    • Direct from the farm. We are the farmers who place the dry rock offshore, the divers who harvest the encrusted live rock, and the licensed facility that packages and ships every order. No middleman, no markup chain — wholesale pricing is the lowest in the industry. Live Sand is also available wholesale.
    • Premium quality. Every rock is hand-selected for shape, holes, and ridges, and arrives fully encrusted with coralline algae. Our live rock starts as our Reef Stacker Dry Rock — the lowest-density aquacultured calcium carbonate base on the market, made from ancient reef skeleton.
    • Drop-shipping available. Online vendors can skip holding-tank space entirely. Drop-ship orders ship in plain packaging with your company’s packing slip — no ARC Reef labeling.
    • Unconditional lifetime warranty. If you’re unhappy with a selection, we replace it free of charge.
