FAQs

How long does it take for the rock to cycle?

The cycling time varies, but it generally takes a few weeks for beneficial bacteria to establish themselves. Monitor your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate).

Can I use this with freshwater aquariums?

No, this product is specifically designed for marine and reef aquariums.

How do I clean the Life Rock?

You can clean the rock during water changes by gently brushing it with a soft brush in a bucket of aquarium water. Never use soap or chemicals.

What is the best way to secure the rock?

You can use reef-safe epoxy or rock-to-rock connectors to secure the rock formations, especially if you have larger fish or strong currents.

How much rock do I need?

The amount of rock needed depends on the size of your aquarium and your desired aquascape. A 20-pound box can cover a significant area due to the open shapes, but you might need more for larger aquariums.

Troubleshooting

Cloudy water after adding Life Rock.

Perform a partial water change and ensure proper filtration.

Excessive algae growth on the rock.

Adjust lighting, improve water flow, and introduce algae-eating species.

Difficulty in arranging the shapes.

Experiment with different layouts before settling on a final arrangement. Take pictures for reference.
