Purple base rock™ will become naturally live™ over time because of its
porosity.

=> Perfect for Coral Farming
=> Free of Biofilm
=> Naturally clean™
=> Helps to conserve Natural reefs
=> Will not affect the cycling of your tank
=> Safe for all corals, fish and invertebrates
=> Color coated, does not contain glue or cement
=> Nature's Ocean® Base Rock is 100% premium all natural aragonite rock
covered with naturally formed
holes and crevices which makes for some very interesting and unique shapes and
is easy to stack when creating a base for growing live coral or as an addition
to existing coral-based ecosystems. This porous characteristic provides a
natural biological filter as well as a perfect environment for denitrifying
marine bacteria to grow and flourish, which effectively reduces nitrates in
your tank.

Nature's Ocean® Base Rock for culturing live rocks is the logical choice for
aquarium hobbyists, whether you are in the business of coral farming or
aquascaping, creating the optimal natural environment is key to growing and
maintaining healthy corals. Nature's Ocean® Base Rock is deepwater soaked to
prevent leeching and then cleaned and cured by a specific drying process to
create an inert or "dead" rock free from organics with the exception of
naturally occurring dust during transportation. Nature's Ocean® Coral Base Rock
is 100% adaptable to existing systems because it is inert and WILL NOT cycle
your tank. Another great benefit of dry or inert aragonite base rock is that it
HAS NO BIOFILM, which tends to repel new cuttings and discourage algae
reproduction.
Nature's Ocean® Base Rock is available in a variety of sizes ranging from 4
inches up to 8 inches, which can be arranged in a variety of aquarium
decorations After a relatively short period of time, Nature's Ocean® Base Rock
will begin to recruit life forms from existing live coral or live sand. You
will begin to see a variety of marine life including Coralline and different
invertebrates begin to colonize and reproduce on and within the rock.

To speed up the colonization process, Bio-activ Live Sand or substrates, which
contain millions of live bacteria, can be used in conjunction with
NutriSeawater® in order to assure optimal results in establishing a healthy
reef system.
One distinct advantage of using Nature's Ocean® Base Rock over most live rocks
is that you are virtually assured of starting out with dry cured rocks that are
free of pests and nuisance algae that can retard beneficial algae propagation.
Using live rocks will be more expensive than dry or inert rocks and run the
risk of introducing pest bacteria to an established system.
Culturing Live Rocks from Base Rock:
Nature's Ocean® Base Rock for culturing live rocks is a very eco-friendly
alternative to using live rock, which is often harvested from live coral reefs
disrupting the food chain and natural habitat of marine animals. Live coral
reefs can be cultured or grown from coral base rock by placing live coral
fragments or cuttings in or around coral base aquarium rock. A similar process
of culturing live coral is by "seeding" the coral base aquarium rock with live
substrates or live sand which contains small live coral fragments and tiny
marine animals that can flourish within the pockets cavities of the base rock.
Nature's Ocean® Base Rock can also be used for Aquarium Decorations and
Terrariums.
