WHAT IS GENESIS ROCK COMBO?

Genesis Rock is a 100% Ceramic Compound fired at 600+ degrees that will last in your tank for years. Providing over 2150 square meters of space per block for beneficial aquarium bacteria to form, these blocks provide a tremendous amount of filtration power and significantly reduce phosphates, nitrates, and other dissolved organic compounds. The Genesis Rock can be used in fresh or saltwater aquariums and can be used under your sand or rock substrate, in your refugium, or simply hidden in your aquascape.

Increase the overall filtration power of your tank by adding Genesis Rock and PolybLab Genesis bacteria to your system.

Genesis Rock combo (Bacteria pack)

Boost the bacterial power of your aquarium with PolypLab Genesis Rock and reduce nitrate, phosphate, ammonia and nitrite in your water. Over 2.160m2 (23,000 square feet) of surface area on each rock for bacteria to colonise.

On the outside of the block, or in high water flow situations, bacteria species that reduce toxic ammonia and nitrite will grow, whereas in the middle of the block where oxygen levels are low, species of bacteria that consume nitrate, phosphate and other organic compounds will thrive.

Produced from a ceramic compound fired at 600+ degrees the rocks are completely inert and will not leach any unwanted substances.

The Genesis Rocks are available as a twin pack or as a booster pack which includes two rocks and a bottle of PolypLab Genesis to speed up bacterial colonisation and boost the performance.

Suitable for use in both Freshwater and Saltwater Aquariums.

Features:

Two 10x10x2.5cm Rocks included in each pack
Booster pack available containing a bottle of PolypLab Genesis bacteria
2160m2 (23000+ Square feet) of surface area in each rock
Inert fired ceramic material
Suitable for Freshwater and Saltwater Aquariums
Promotes bacteria colonies that reduce Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Phosphate and other unwanted organic compounds.
Can be used in sumps or in the aquarium.
One rock recommended for every 300 - 1300 Litres of aquarium water.

How to use:

1) Each Genesis Rock can support up to 1325 litres of the aquarium.

2) Rinse material well with purified water, but preferably aquarium water.

3) Genesis rock is specifically designed for zero leaching so we have very little dust, but we recommend washing just to be sure.

4) Place Genesis Rock in a plastic container, filling it with aquarium water, and then add PolypLab Genesis bacteria.

5) Add your bacteria to the container based on the size of the aquarium.

6) Allow for your Genesis Rocks to stand at least 12 hours, and then place them inside your aquarium.

7) If you are not using any bacterial supplement, you can place rock directly in the aquarium after rinsing.

8) You can discard the soaked water to ensure no microscopic dust gets moved to your aquarium.

9) Using more blocks than the capacity recommended above is ok, and will increase your filtration power.

10) We recommend that the blocks are positioned after some form of particulate filter such as filter socks, floss or a ClariSea filter unit as detritus and debris can block the pores of the rock reducing the efficiency over time.

Aerobic - Optimized for Nitrite, Ammonia Removal:

To use the Genesis Rocks to create aerobic bacteria, place the Rocks above water level over your refugium, overflow, or suspended in your system.
Run tank water over the rock, and allow the overflow to run into your water column.
Do not run your entire system flow over the blocks, only around 150 litres per hour estimated!

Anaerobic - Optimized for Nitrate Removal:

Install the Genesis Rocks in a very low flow area, deprived of as much oxygen as possible.
This can be a low flow area in your sump or refugium, under your sand, or hidden in your aquascape.

Aerobic & Anaerobic - Optimized for general performance:

Install the Genesis Rocks in a medium flow area of your tank, sump, refugium, or other portion of your system which has a medium flow of water.
This will allow the outside of your Genesis Rocks to propagate Aerobic bacteria while the inner portions of your Genesis Rocks generate Anaerobic bacteria.

*Be sure not to place the Genesis block in any area where it might rub against other equipment and cause damage to the block such as a vibrating protein skimmer as an example.
