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.

How to use:
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.
