We ship Snacklerock mostly submerged in water. No wet paper or paper towels - shipping in water is the best way to ensure the maximum amount of life makes it to your tank.

Our Snacklerocks are cycled with live nitrifying bacteria and seeded with our three species blend of live copepods. Dinkins Snacklerock is ideal for starting a new tank, or for adding rock (and biodiversity) to an existing system.

Many reefers use dry rock to start their tanks, in an effort to keep pests out. The downside is that it can take weeks or months to fully cycle the rock, along with multiple purchases of copepods to fully seed them. On the other end of the spectrum, a number of reefers buy rock straight from the ocean. This rock is fully seeded and comes with copepods, but also has the potential to bring unwanted hitchhikers with them.

Our Snacklerock combines the best of both worlds. We source dry rock, which has never been in the ocean, and put it in a closed system. We add a substantial amount of live nitrifying bacteria and our own copepods (which are themselves grown in closed single-species systems). We let the rock stay in this system for several months,  allowing the bacteria to migrate into the rock's pores and the copepods to spread out and colonize all the rock as well.

Dinkins Snacklerock comes with much of the biodiversity of ocean rock without the potential pests and hitchhikers.

Snacklerock!

My rock arrived and it looks great! I could see pods swimming in the water which is a great sign that there is plenty of life in the bag. Another great product from Dinkins.
The customer service is amazing. They go above and beyond to show you that you are valued and appreciated as a customer.

Best copepod and berghia supplier out there.

I ordered berghia and copepods for my system and I could not have been happier. The stickers (very high quality) and hand written note was the cherry on top. Highly, highly recommend Dinkins for your live rock, phyto, copepods and berghia source. You won't regret your order one bit!
