CaribSea Life Rock 18.14 kg

Until now, there was no alternative to live rock. Then came LifeRocks from CaribSea. Fossil aragonite rock with a bacterial coating that shortens the running-in phase even compared to live rock and creates a long-term stable microclimate. And all this without ecological concerns, with a lower nutrient load and incredible design freedom. The LifeRock Originals are left in the shape and size that they occur in nature. This unique variety of shapes means you can find exactly the stones you need for your individual reef construction. The stones can be used as a substructure, addition or to stabilize arches, for example. In addition, you can put the stones together with suitable composite materials to create your own creations and shapes.

LifeRocks from CaribSea are aragonite rocks of fossil origin that are extracted from dry reefs. Formed by nature, no two stones are the same. Each one has its own unique character. This makes LifeRocks ideal for creating spectacular and individual reef aquariums.

Even if very few people say it out loud: The amount of live rock available on the market exceeds the amount that can be obtained from legal sources. LifeRocks are extracted sustainably and guaranteed without destroying existing ecosystems. This means that using LifeRocks as an alternative to live rock is an active contribution to environmental protection.

LifeRocks are coated with a reddish bacterial film. This gives them the appearance of live rock with a coating of calcareous algae. Much more importantly, however, the bacterial coating turns LifeRocks into revitalized live rock. The biofilm, which consists of permanent stages of different bacterial strains, enables transport and storage in a dry state. Aquascaping also offers completely new design options: you can concentrate fully on the structure without having to worry about the stones drying out.

As soon as the LifeRocks are in the water, they come to life. This makes them more than just a visual eye-catcher for fascinating reefs - they are a reef that lives and filters and offers invertebrates and fish the optimal microclimate. The running-in phase can even be shortened compared to live rock! And all without any uninvited guests. This makes the LifeRocks from CaribSea not only a visual alternative to live rock, but also functional!

The extraction of LifeRocks from fossil reefs not only makes them perfect on the outside. Their chemical and structural composition is also natural. LifeRocks are completely silicate-free and do not introduce any other chemical surprises into the water. In comparison to live rock, they also have a lower nutrient load!

The aragonite rock has grown within a functioning ecosystem. The high macro- and microporosity has developed naturally and provides exactly the structure that microorganisms and invertebrates are used to and need in nature. This makes a stable, colorful and healthy ecosystem from microorganisms to dazzling fish child's play!

LifeRocks are available in various designs that you can use to create individual reefs in which your animals feel completely at home and which captivate every observer. With the LifeRock Shelf panels you can build substructures and extensive cave systems. With the Belize Branch you can create reef branches and ramifications that jump out at the observer. The LifeRock Shapes, Arch, XL Arch, Mega Arch and MegaCave provide you and your animals with arches, rings and tunnels that optimally recreate the natural habitats. With LifeRock Original you can perfect or expand the resulting structures.
