Genesis Rock — 2 Porous Ceramic Rocks for Biological Filtration - Polyplab

Polyplab Genesis Rock — 2 porous ceramic rocks for biological filtration

Polyplab Genesis Rock is a set of two ultra-porous synthetic ceramic rocks, built to house the beneficial bacteria that drive your aquarium's biological filtration. A clean alternative to live rock: no bacteria are included here — you seed them with the product of your choice.

Why Genesis ceramic rock

• Over 23,000 sq ft of bacterial colonization surface per block
• Reduces phosphates, nitrates and dissolved organic compounds
• Zero-leach technology — 100% ceramic fired at over 600°C, won't break down over time
• Works in fresh and saltwater
• 1 rock treats up to 350 gallons; 2 rocks up to 700 gallons
• Dimensions: 4 × 4 × 1 in per rock

Setup (per Polyplab)

Preparation: rinse the rocks with purified water, or preferably aquarium water. Place them in a container filled with tank water, add your bacterial product (Polyplab recommends its Genesis bacteria), let stand at least 12 hours, then install the rocks. Without bacteria, you can place them directly after rinsing.

Placement by goal:

• Aerobic (nitrite/ammonia removal): above the water line, over a refugium or overflow, with water running over them (~40 gph).
• Anaerobic (nitrate removal): a very low-flow, low-oxygen area (under sand, quiet sump, aquascape).
• Mixed (general performance): a medium-flow area.

Avoid placing the rocks where they could rub against vibrating equipment (a skimmer) and get damaged.

FAQ

How many rocks are in Polyplab Genesis Rock?

Two ceramic rocks, each offering about 23,000 sq ft of bacterial surface. A 4-rock set is also available for larger systems.

Do I need bacteria with Genesis rock?

Bacteria aren't included here. You can seed them with RF Genesis (or choose the Genesis Rock Booster, which includes the bacteria bottle).

Does Genesis rock replace live rock?

It does the same biological-filtration job. Many build an all-dry-rock aquascape and rely on ceramic rock plus bacteria — same job, no imported pests or hitchhikers.
