The kits come in various designs, including pine trees, bonsai, and even a Star Destroyer! They’re engineered for the Australian market, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal. The modular design allows for easy rearrangement, making maintenance and coral placement simple.

Easy Assembly and Disassembly

One of the unique features of these kits is their ease of assembly and disassembly. They use an acrylic rod and tube system, allowing sections to be detached quickly and easily. This allows for simple coral repositioning, light adjustment, or flow management without damaging the aquascape or corals.

This ease of manipulation is particularly valuable in nano tanks, where delicate coral adjustments can be challenging. The ability to move elements without disturbing the glued structure is a significant advantage.

The frag domes allow corals to thrive, preventing substrate from settling and limiting the spread of pest organisms. The magnetic frag racks provide additional space for coral propagation, and the accessory rocks add depth and complexity to any aquascape.

Adhesives and Epoxy Kit

Art Reef Rocks offers its own line of high-quality adhesives. A specially formulated cyanoacrylate glue, made in Germany and bottled in Australia, is exceptionally thick and ideal for bonding the rocks in the aquascapes. They also sell a fast-acting cyanoacrylate activator spray.

For larger projects, Art Reef Rocks developed a three-part epoxy kit. The kit, called “Rock Solid,” contains a color-matched resin, hardener, and granule filler. The epoxy creates a bond stronger than the rock itself and is designed for long-term durability in aquatic environments.

Rock Material and Production Process

The rocks themselves are made from aragonite and Portland cement, carefully blended to mimic the color of coralline algae. This blend is designed to be compatible with aquatic life and doesn’t leach harmful substances into the aquarium water.

Art Reef Rocks employs a rigorous 45-day, four-stage soak-and-dry process to remove impurities before the rocks are available for sale. This ensures the safety of your corals and the overall health of your aquarium.
