Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

Give your aquarium the visual appeal and biological performance of live rock, without any impact on the world's coral reefs. Life Rock by CaribSea is the ecologically responsible (and budget conscious) alternative to wild live rock. It is made from aragonitic base rock similar in composition to real live rock. Life Rock is color matched to real coralline algae right out of the box. You get the deep-toned, mature look without having to wait for real coralline algae to colonize. Life Rock requires no cement or curing and will not cause pH spikes. This unique base rock offers extensive macro and microporosity infused with spored bacteria to encourage beneficial bacteria to colonize on the rock as soon as you place it into your aquarium. Arrives dry, very clean, and is safe for all fish and invertebrates. Great for any saltwater aquarium setup. Lengths range from 5.5" to 9".

Just like I wanted they came in all wrapped no broken pieces recommend to anyone that wants some life rocks.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Huge pieces. Very heavy for size. Basically cement painted purple. All arches and caves arrived broken.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Helpful?

This stuff looks great and helps disguise the "ugly phase" you may encounter during the first few months of a new reef set up. I really don't care about the supposed embedded dormant bacteria. I also use live sand and Brightwell Microbacter to kickstart the first cycle. Still though, leave the lights off for the first cycle or two.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Helpful?

pieces were large and came with a good assortment it was six pieces total. Was happy overall besides all the chips and broken pieces. Came in a box with only being wrapped poorly in a sheet of paper. The sand i ordered came wrapped in bubble wrap. I had to adjust the rocks with the chips facing the back just to make it look decent.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Helpful?

Good price. All peices were large though. I was hoping for more variety of shapes and sizes. Several peices were damaged slightly in transit even though they were wrapped well, they're still rocks so it comes with the territory. Overall I am happy the color looks great.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Helpful?

Quality product and Caribsea will answer their phone if you have any questions. Beautiful

Yes, I recommend this product.

Helpful?

Overall satisfied with rock but poor packaging led to unnecessary chipped pieces.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Helpful?

Package seamed extremely light and when I opened it there was on piece that when I threw it on the scale was about 7lbs. Wishing I just went to the store!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Would this b too much for a 20 Cube Waterbox tank?

3 years ago
Most likely, the rule of thumb is 1 to 1 1/4 pounds of rock per gallon of water—20 to 25 pounds of rock would be more appropriate for a 20 gallon tank, 40 pounds is probably too much.

Can this be used in fresh water?

1 year ago
I wouldn’t use it but if you want a similar look try okho stone, it has holes just like this and is a lot cheaper, this is for reef aquariums because it has added marine bacteria to help maintain a saltwater tank

Is it better to purchase a live rock that is already placed inside a marine tank in the store or a new dry shrink wrapped one on the store shelf?

4 years ago
Depending on what you are going for, are you setting up a brand new tank? if you want no pests hitching a ride to your tank then go with brand new sealed and just cycle it in you tank
