Aquaforest Rocks — Synthetic Marine Rock (New Generation) for Reef Aquariums

Aquaforest rocks are a new generation synthetic marine rock made for reef aquariums. They recreate the look and function of natural live rock. Also, they are clean, lightweight, and easy to shape for aquascaping. As a result, hobbyists get a natural appearance without unwanted pests.

Natural look, engineered performance

This product combines high aesthetics with practical function. It is hand-made from materials that mimic the composition of natural reef rock. Therefore, it blends into reef scapes visually. At the same time, it provides a porous surface that supports bacterial colonies.

Key benefits

• High porosity for fast aerobic and anaerobic bacteria colonization.

• Low weight to volume ratio — easy to move and shape.

• Cuts and joins cleanly; bonds with stone fix products.

• Works as biological filtration and decorative rock.

• Produced from stable materials that do not leach harmful chemicals.

• Speeds up tank maturation and reduces start-up time.

Composition & design features

Aquaforest AF Rock is crafted to resemble natural aragonite-based live rock. It has many small pores and cavities. Consequently, water flows through the structure and creates ideal habitats for nitrifying bacteria. In addition, the texture encourages coralline and microbe settlement.

Sizes & packaging

This rock is typically available in practical packs for hobbyists and professionals. Common pack sizes include 10 kg and 18 kg. Thus, you can choose the quantity that fits your aquarium size and scape plan.

Use cases

• Reef aquariums with SPS, LPS, and soft corals.

• Mixed reef tanks and fish-only systems that need biological media.

• Public displays and aquascaping projects where uniform look matters.

• Systems where avoiding pests or unwanted hitchhikers is important.

How to use (simple steps)

1. Plan your scape layout outside the tank.

2. Cut or break pieces to shape if needed.

3. Join rocks using reef-safe stone glue or AF Stone Fix.

4. Place in the aquarium and arrange for good water flow.

5. Allow colonization; test water parameters regularly.

Tips for best results

• Use a mix of shapes and sizes for natural flow.

• Position larger pieces to create arches and caves.

• Ensure direct flow through porous sections for efficient filtration.

• Rinse before placement to remove dust from cutting or handling.

Storage & handling

Keep the product dry in a sealed container until use. Also, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store in a cool, dry place. Handle with care when cutting; wear protective eyewear and gloves.
