It is the highest-quality rock designed for marine aquariums. Its high aesthetics and hand-made manufacturing process make it resemble natural rock from coral reefs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its high porosity, it facilitates bacterial settlement and works perfectly as a filtration medium. Unlike the rocks commonly found on the market, AF Rock was intended for an efficient filtration process. Using the best, ecological, and fully safe pigments allowed for creating a rock with highly decorative qualities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAF Rock does not harm the environment; unlike live rock, it is free from contaminants, unwanted algae, and parasites. AF Rock is also free of harmful and invasive organisms such as valonia, aiptasia, dinoflagellate, bryopsis, AEFW, and undesirable crabs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rock's composition provides optimal conditions for the development of marine life and is entirely safe for the aquarium's inhabitants. AF Rock is an ideal medium for bacterial settlement, so it supports biochemical processes and guarantees long-term biological balance in the tank. The rock will continuously support filtration processes, stabilise parameters, and facilitate the development of marine life. The rock can be cut, broken, and freely combined using Stone Fix adhesive. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handmade manufacturing process of AF Rock guarantees the uniqueness of each set and the exclusive shape of each element. High porosity ensures low weight and an excellent weight-to-volume ratio, making AF Rock much lighter than other rocks available on the market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThoroughly tested product for optimal water quality, coral growth, and microbial balance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AF Rock was thoroughly tested in the laboratory and doesn’t release undesired chemicals into the water. It stabilises the pH and KH of water, which significantly facilitates the calcification of skeletons and allows faster growth of corals, which, in stable parameters, build harder and healthier skeletons. It facilitates the settlement of beneficial microorganisms and significantly shortens the aquarium's maturation process, especially when using Bio S bacteria. Get quickly covered with the desired coralline algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a freshwater aquarium, AF Rock can only be used in water with a pH level above 7.0. Rinse the rock in RO water before placing it in the tank. Due to its high porosity, the rock may break during transport. The rock fragments should be joined using Stone Fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAF ROCK MAY ALSO BE USED IN FUNCTIONING TANKS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9236\/1374\/files\/AF-Rock_graph.jpg?v=1745558690\" alt=\"AF Rock\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA hand-made rock made of compounds of similar composition to natural live rock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable boxes of mixed shapes or arch\/shelf\/base only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eHigh porosity – boosts the filtration process\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOnly ecological components\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eNatural look for a great scape\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBoosts the growth of marine organisms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eGreat filtration capacity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePerfect weight-to-volume ratio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFaster maturation \u0026amp; livestock addition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePerfect media for bacterial settlement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eReef safe – no hitchhikers, plagues, parasites\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eStabilises pH \u0026amp; KH\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eOnly ecological pigments \u0026amp; pure components\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AQUAFOREST","offers":[{"title":"10kg","offer_id":47998040375454,"sku":"RSAF1066","price":199.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18kg","offer_id":47998040408222,"sku":"RSAF1119","price":349.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/9236\/1374\/files\/AQUAFOREST_Rock-BOX-10kg.jpg?v=1745559251","url":"https:\/\/aquahouse.co.nz\/products\/aquaforest-synthetic-rock","provider":"Aqua House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
