CaribSea South Seas Base Rock is a new rock for decoration of aquariums. With the South Seas Base Rocks you get natural base rock for the inexpensive basic construction of your reef aquarium.

The aragonite rock has grown within a functioning ecosystem. The high macro- and microporosity has developed naturally and provides exactly the structure that microorganisms and invertebrates are used to and do need from nature. South Seas Base Rock has much more structure and is much more porous than other stones available on the market. It also means that more stones are needed for the same weight. The high porosity of the stones also provides ideal living conditions and promotes excellent colonisation with bacteria. As the South Seas Base Rocks are delivered without the additional bacterial coating, they can be considered as a cheap alternative to the LifeRock Originals. Alternatively, you can mix these rocks ideally with reef rocks from the LifeRocks range.

The reef rocks of CaribSea are aragonite rocks of fossil origin, which are extracted from dry reefs. Formed by nature, each stone is unique. Every single one captivates by its very own character. This makes the South Seas, Moani and LifeRocks of CaribSea ideal for building spectacular and individual reef aquariums. A perfect alternative to life rock and also the ideal basis for reef construction with life rocks. Furthermore, you can combine the stones with suitable composites to create your own creations and shapes.

Even though few people say it out loud: the amount of life rocks available on the market exceeds the amount that can be legally extracted. LifeRocks are extracted sustainably and with the guarantee that existing ecosystems are not destroyed. Therefore the use of CaribSea South Seas Base Rock as an alternative to life rocks is an active contribution to environmental protection.

The extraction of LifeRocks from fossil reefs makes them perfect not only in appearance. Their chemical and structural composition is also natural. LifeRocks are absolutely silicate-free and therefore no chemicals are brought into the water. In comparison to the life rocks they also show a lower nutrient load!
