FragZone™ is designed with ideal porosity for fragment retention and a natural coral color that blends beautifully with any reef landscape. It is colonized with live, spore-forming bacteria, making it an excellent biological medium for refugia, filter boxes and sumps. FragZone's unique architecture also makes it ideal for housing copepods, sponges and other natural feeders in the reef. FragZone's many uses are far from exhausted - if you mix FragZone with sand, you can use FragZone as a bottom substrate ideal for burrowing fish and invertebrates such as jawfish, shrimp and gobies. For smaller fish, a few strategically placed FragZone rocks can create the perfect hiding place. With FragZone, your frags will get their space faster.
Shortened settling-in period - long-term stable microclimate
Until now, there was no alternative to live rock. Then came the LifeRocks from CaribSea. Fossil aragonite rock with a bacterial coating that shortens the run-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 an incredible freedom of design. Due to this unique variety of shapes, you will find exactly the stones you need for your individual reef design. For example, the stones can be used as a substructure, addition or to stabilize arches. Furthermore, you can combine the stones with suitable composites to create your own creations and shapes.
Every stone is unique - for individual construction
CaribSea's LifeRocks are aragonite stone of fossil origin, extracted from dried reefs. Formed by nature, no two stones are alike. Each one captivates with its very own character. This makes LifeRocks ideal for creating spectacular and individual reef aquariums.
No destruction of ecosystems - for the protection of nature
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 sustainably extracted and guaranteed without destroying existing ecosystems. This makes the use of LifeRocks as an alternative to live rock an active contribution to environmental protection.
Microcosm included - for an active ecosystem
LifeRocks are coated with a reddish bacterial film. This gives them the appearance of live rock with a calcareous red algae coating. More importantly, however, the bacterial coating turns LifeRocks into revitalized live rock. The biofilm, consisting of permanent stages of different bacterial strains, allows transport and storage in dry condition. It also opens up completely new design possibilities for aquascaping: You can concentrate entirely on the design without having to make sure that the stones do not dry out.
As soon as the LifeRocks arrive 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. This can even shorten the start-up phase compared to live rock! And all this without any uninvited guests. This makes the LifeRocks from CaribSea not only visually an alternative to live rock, but also functionally!
No trace of chemicals - clean and safe for invertebrates and fish
The extraction of LifeRocks from fossil reefs makes them not only perfect on the outside. Their chemical and structural composition is also natural. LifeRocks are absolutely silicate-free and bring no other chemical surprises into the water. Compared to live rock, they also show a lower nutrient load!
Optimal living conditions - for unique reef aquariums
Aragonite rock has grown within a functioning ecosystem. The high macro- and microporosity has been created naturally and brings exactly the structure that microorganisms and invertebrates are used to and need from nature. This makes a stable, colorful and healthy ecosystem from microorganism to iridescent fish a breeze!
