Why Use Live Rock in a Reef Tank?
Rock structures form the backbone of any saltwater aquarium. They provide plenty of surface area for corals and natural hiding spots for fish, shrimp, and other reef inhabitants. More importantly, porous rock functions as a biological filter: beneficial bacteria colonize the surface and break down nutrients, helping to stabilize water quality.
Types of Live Rock – What’s the Difference?
-
Wild Live Rock: Harvested directly from coral reefs – ecologically damaging.
-
Cultured Live Rock: Dry rock seeded in the ocean, colonized by bacteria and organisms.
-
Artificial Live Rock: Man-made or land-collected rock coated with a bacterial film – the sustainable choice.
CaribSea Life Rock belongs to the last category, making it a responsible, reef-safe alternative with all the benefits of live rock, but none of the environmental downsides.
