Aquaforest AF Rock Base 10kg - Slow synthetic rocks for marine aquariums

Aquaforest AF Rock Base 10kg is a high quality synthetic rock, handcrafted with completely natural ingredients. It was developed as an alternative evolved to the living rock, maintaining the natural aesthetics of coral reefs but eliminating the risks associated with parasites, unwanted algae and invasive organisms.

Thanks to the exclusive production process Aquaforest, each element is unique by form and structure, allowing the construction of solid, stable and highly decorative aquascape.

Structure and porosity

The main feature of AF Rock Base is the very high porosity, designed to maximize organic efficiency.

• Highly porous internal structure

• Large useful surface for nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria

• Excellent biological filtration medium

• Very advantageous weight / volume ratio

• Reduced weight compared to natural rocks

These features make the rock ideal as a structural base in modern reef aquariums.

Organic and functional benefits

AF Rock Base is not just a decorative element, but an active part of the biological system of the aquarium.

• Promotes the rapid settlement of beneficial bacteria

• Supports the natural biochemical processes of the tank

• Stabilize the water parameters in the long run

• Accelerate the aquarium maturation, especially in combination with bacteria like bio s

• Stimulates the growth of the micro-maca and of the desired coral algae

The rock contributes continuously to the filtration and organic balance of the system.

Safety and compatibility

Unlike the living rock, AF Rock base is completely safe and controlled.

• Without contaminants, unwanted algae and parasites

• No risk of valon, aiptasia, dinoflagellates, bryopsis, aefw or unwanted crabs

• Do not release harmful chemicals in water

• Tested carefully in the laboratory

• Safe for fish, corals and invertebrates

It is an ideal choice for those who want a controlled and "hitchhiker" reef.

Influence on the water parameters

The composition of the rock is designed to support marine aquarium chemistry.

• Helps stabilize pH and KH

• Promotes the calcification of corals skeletons

• Supports faster and healthy growth of hard corals

• Contributes to the stability of the parameters over time

In stable conditions, corals develop more robust and resistant skeletons.

Modularity and processing

AF Rock Base is designed to offer maximum freedom in the framework design.

• Can be cut and broken easily

• Assembled with Aquaforest Stone Fix

• Ideal for creating supporting structures and solid bases

• Any breakages during transport can be easily repaired

This versatility makes it perfect for both beginners and experienced water-skirts.

Aesthetics and eco-sustainability

The natural aspect is obtained thanks to the exclusive use of ecological and safe pigments.

• Aesthetics similar to natural barrier rock

• Realistic and durable colors

• Ecological pigments and pure components

• No negative impact on the marine environment

Each set is unique, thanks to artisan production.

Use in freshwater aquariums

AF Rock base can also be used in freshwater aquariums, with some notantments.

• Usable only with pH more than 7.0

• It is necessary to rinse the rock with water ro before use
