CORAL, DIY and CUSTOM REEF LEADTIMES and DELAYS

All corals are hand crafted by our talented artisans to suit your needs and can take some time to create. Please know CORAL COLORS MAY SLIGHTLY VARY, as each color batch is hand mixed and can vary based on many conditions. Usually our coral orders can be shipped within 1-2 weeks, depending on order size. DIY projects usually take about 2-3 weeks to complete, but can be longer based on current backlog of projects. Average lead times are 6-8 weeks. Be advised these time estimates may change due to factors including, but not limited to current backlog, weather, shipping delays and/or holidays. If you have concerns, please contact us at Sales@rocknreefs.com for an estimated lead time on your project.

If lead times are unacceptable, we will gladly refund your order immediately but ONLY if requested within 24 hours of placing the order. 

Custom reef timeframe begins once all required information is provided and once the deposit is made. Lead times are subject to change without notice. Lead times are based on a first come, first serve basis, and projects are not scheduled for production until deposit and all appropriate build documents have been received. Numerous factors may affect proposed lead time, and ultimately delivery time, for example, delayed approvals, unexpected changes, 3rd party delays, weather issues (Force majeure) etc.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE YOUR PROJECT LEAVES OUR FACILITY, TRANSPORT TIME IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL. EVEN IF THE SHIPMENT IS GUARANTEED, IT MAY NOT ARRIVE ON TIME DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT ROCKNREEFS IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DELAYS DUE TO TRANSPORT.

 

Client is expected to provide approved, or as accurate as possible tank drawings, sketches, photos, including inside dimensions, lid openings, overflow box size, shape, and location, water level height or height from the inside of the aquarium bottom to the bottom of the overflow box teeth or stand pipe bells, any penetrations and bulkhead sizing.

 

Also client is expected to disclose any additional restrictions in respect to installation of inserts; ie. ceiling height, cabinetry, restricted access or limited working space around, above, below, on the way to the aquarium, etc.

 

It is your responsibility as our client to provide us with accurate measurements, as we build your insert to fit the provided measurements. Any alterations required based on erroneous measurements/information may result in a change order and can extend/delay lead time.

 

We look forward to working with you and are ready to help in every way we can! Please call us with any questions you may have.

SCRATCHnDENT OFF POUR CORAL -  PLEASE READ AS ALL SALES ARE FINAL

By placing your order for these items, you acknowledge the below conditions. 

ALL SCRATCHnDENT OFF POUR CORAL SALES ARE FINAL. NO EXCHANGES OR RETURNS. 

These corals have flaws that may include but are not limited to the below conditions. All Corals are aquarium safe and have been used in commercial and retail quarantine systems to brighten up displays and add habitat. These corals are subject to excessive flashing, air bubbles, short pours and/or color variances. Some corals my float and will require a weighted base. Some corals may arrive drilled with a mounting peg installed. Some may be drilled with no peg installed and just the hole. We will provide mounting pegs and mounting instructions if requested. 

These corals are perfect for quarantine and breeding systems. Some have used these corals to create their own themed habitats, using fish safe epoxy or fully cured cement. 

​

FAQ:

Q: Are SCRATCHnDENT corals still fish safe? YES, the only difference with these corals is strictly cosmetic. Some have flashing, some have pulled or missing tips, and some were made in colors that may be slightly off or mixed.

 

Q: Why do you have Off pours? Each coral is handmade in our facility in Florida. Off pours happen when the mold is not set correctly causing mold lines (flashing). When changing colors in the mold, corals may be multicolored, When pulling corals out of the mold the ends of the corals may stretch and/or break off. Some corals are perfect, however clients may have requested nonstandard colors that were ultimately never used and are now available to you. When pouring corals, we typically pour a minimum of 4, which allows us to choose the best coral for our clients and projects and sometimes leaves us with extra corals that we may or may not use on our custom reefs.

 

Q: If I order a coral color that is in the SCRATCHnDENT section of the website will I receive that exact colored coral? Most likely not. Corals will be added to the site and the color variant will be labeled as the color it closely resembles. Please note:  Most ScratchnDent corals are in excellent condition and may be occasionally used on a custom reef and not removed from the website in time. If the coral purchased is not available, RocknReefs, Inc. reserves the right to substitute any coral or corals to match the purchase price spent. 

 

Q: Can I see the coral before I buy it? Unfortunately no. Due to the highly discounted pricing we are offering, we cannot take photos of every coral, however, if requested, a photo of the coral(s) will be sent once the order has been placed.

Please note: At RocknReefs discretion and availability we may substitute corals if requested. By placing your order for SCRATCHnDENT corals you understand all sales are final and you agree and acknowledge that your selection of corals are extremely discounted for the above reasons.
