Live Rock is the Basis of a Reef Aquarium

 

Live rock is essential for a healthy and thriving reef aquarium. Live rock provides the bacteria and foundation necessary to create an ocean environment right in your reef aquarium. A good amount of high-quality live rock, combined with clean water, good lighting, and care, will provide a happy home for your reef aquarium's inhabitants. This page tells where to find the highest quality live rock at the best prices.

What is Live Rock? 

So then, what exactly is live rock?

Live rock is the foundation of a reef aquarium.



Live rock is chunks of rock that have been broken off of a mother reef, such as during a hurricane. Recently, live rock has been cultured to 'seed' it with ocean creatures and microorganisms. This process is called aquaculturing, and helps preserve what's left of the original reefs of the world.

What makes live rock essential to a reef aquarium is not the rock itself, but the organisms living inside it. There are millions (billions?) of microscopic organisms living in the pores of the rock. These organisms basically filter the water of an aquarium by eating harmful things such as waste and chemicals released by fish and other animals.

Live rock is the main filter of most reef aquariums, and is the most natural and efficient. There are no wires running from it to a power outlet, and everything appears natural and 'non-mechanical.' I've had only live rock as the filter in my aquarium for over 3 years now, and it's still going strong.

Also, besides being a filter for the aquarium, live rock is also where corals and things will sit. Corals and invertebrates (such as anemones) will attach to the rock and make it their 'home.'
