Overview
Biological filtration capacity is often the limiting factor in how much bioload a tank can comfortably support, and traditional live rock can only provide so much surface area for beneficial bacteria. The Genesis Rock Pack from Polyp Lab is a fired ceramic media purpose-built to massively increase that surface area, helping reduce nitrates, phosphates and other dissolved organics.
Each block offers a genuinely substantial amount of bacterial colonisation space in a compact, easy-to-place format that works in fresh or saltwater systems.
Key features
- 100% fired ceramic construction, built to last for years without breaking down
- Over 23,000 square feet of bacterial surface area per block
- Zero-leach technology — designed not to introduce dust or unwanted compounds into your water
- Supports both aerobic (ammonia/nitrite-reducing) and anaerobic (nitrate-reducing) bacteria depending on placement
- Suitable for freshwater and saltwater aquariums
What's in the box
- Genesis Rock ceramic blocks (pack quantity as per product)
Who it's for
Reef keepers wanting extra biological filtration capacity to help manage a heavier bioload, or anyone looking to reduce dissolved organics without adding more traditional live rock to the display.
Setup & tips
- Rinse thoroughly with purified water before use, even though the rock is designed for minimal dust
- For faster colonisation, soak in aquarium water dosed with a bacterial supplement for at least 12 hours before adding to the tank
- Place in a high-flow area (above water, in an overflow or sump) to favour aerobic bacteria, or in a low-flow, low-oxygen spot to favour anaerobic, nitrate-reducing bacteria
- Avoid positioning where it could rub against vibrating equipment such as a protein skimmer, which could cause damage over time
