![]() Real Reef is available in shelf and branch rock shapes as well as your traditional rock shapes. Dead or alive, Real Reef Rock always looks awesome. Unlike Marco Rock, you won't have to wait 3+ months for the rock to look great, it comes completely colored with a natural blend of purple and pink to mimic living coralline algae rock out of the box. It is cycled for a minimum of 3 months in salt water before being boxed and shipped which means you can get the benefits of live beneficial bacteria if treated properly before use WITHOUT worry of pests! But that is not all Real Reef has going for it! In fact, it is the natural-looking shapes and colors that make Real Reef such an attractive option for the majority of its users. Randy's personal favorite, Real Reef is a synthetic, eco-friendly live rock option that is 100% man-made right here in the U.S.A. We also have nano rock, rubble rock, and the very unique pedestal shape rock that when used correctly provides the perfect mounting platform for SPS corals and various frags. This flat side creates a stable foundation for you to build your aquascape on. Marco Reef Saver Rock is your traditional assorted rock shape but you can also get Foundation Rock which is cut with one flat side that allows the rock to lay flat on the bottom of your tank. It won't look perfect on day one but give it the necessary time and TLC and you will have a great-looking, biologically stable reef tank without the price tag of wild-collected live rock! It is white in color and free of living coralline algae so, in addition to a longer cycle time, the rock will need some extra time to grow a layer of that iconic purple and pink colored Coralline Algae. Therefore, we do recommend the use of bacteria additives or cycle enhancing type products along with Marco Rock to help the beneficial bacteria establish a stable population in your reef tank. The jagged edges will interlock the rocks together making it the perfect solution for a quick, but natural-looking aquascape.īeing Marco Rock is shipped dry without any kind of living bacteria, it will take time to cycle the rock completely. The porous rock chunks are easy to break up into smaller pieces so you can build your very own NSA - Negative Space Aquascape or it can easily be stacked together right out of the box. It is naturally mined which means no two rocks are the same and is shipped clean, dry, and 100% free of any reef pests or parasites. One of the most widely used and certainly the most popular among our customers, Marco Rock is the most affordable rock we sell. Ryan and Randy go down the list and provide you with the most critical information you NEED to know when shopping for live rock so you can make the most informed decision when building and creating your very own reef-inspired aquascape. The right kind of live rock really does matter! Believe it or not, there are some great benefits to choosing the right kind of live rock for your reef tank.
