Carib Sea Life Rock Reef Tree Kit

The Life Rock Reef Tree Kit from Carib Sea is a do-it-yourself aquascaping kit that lets you build a custom reef tree with no glue. Each kit contains one carbon fibre rod and multiple pre-drilled, stackable pieces of LifeRock, so the structure is easy to assemble and simple to reposition whenever you want a new look.

LifeRock begins as a piece of Pleistocene-era seafloor that has spent around 100,000 years forming a pure, aragonite-bearing rock. The clean base rock is 97% calcium carbonate, with minor and trace elements such as strontium, magnesium and barium. It has roughly 50% void space, giving billions of water-purifying bacteria a place to live.

The rock is infused with bacteria using AragAlive technology, which reduces traditional cycling times. Multiple engineered aragonite coatings maintain the macro and micro porosity and give the soft, muted colours of a living reef. It is a rock of true marine origin, free of hitchhikers, organics and algae, and no curing is required, so your tank has the look of an established reef from day one.

If you want a taller reef tree, the optional Life Rock Reef Tree Extension Kit can be added. Because LifeRock is a natural product, it is worth handling the pieces with care during setup.
