WHAT IS GENESIS ROCK?

Genesis Rock is a 100% Ceramic Compound fired at 600+ degrees that will last in your tank for years. Providing over 23,000 square feet of space per black for beneficial aquarium bacteria to form, these blocks providing 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. 

DIRECTIONS:

Each Genesis Rock can support up to 350 gallons of the aquarium, our kit includes 700 gallons worth of coverage in two rocks. Heavier bio load tanks such as predator tanks for example should increase the coverage suggested above. 

Rinse material well with purified water, but preferably aquarium water. Our rock is specifically designed for zero leaching so we have very little dust, but we recommend washing just to be sure. 

Place Genesis Rock in a plastic container, filling it with aquarium water, and then adding your favorite bacterial product (our favorite is Polyplab Genesis). Add your bacteria to the container based on the size of the aquarium you are adding the rocks. Allow for your Genesis Rocks to stand at least 12 hours, and then place them inside your aquarium. If you are not using any bacterial supplement, you can place rock directly in the aquarium after rinsing. You can discard the soaked water to ensure no microscopic dust gets moved to your aquarium. 

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

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 40 gallons 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.

WHAT IS GENESIS BACTERIA?

A concentrated mixture of dormant bacteria.

Working with a Canadian biotechnology firm, we have manufactured a custom blend of bacterial strains with concentrations of over 80 billion cells/mL. In their planktonic state, these bacteria serve as a highly nutritious food source for corals and zooplankton. More importantly, these complimentary bacterial strains form nutrient-consuming biofilms.

Aerobic - Optimized for Nitrite, Ammonia Removal
To use the Genesis Rocks to create aerobic bacteria, place the blocks above water level over your refugium, overflow, or suspended in your system. Run tank water over the rocks, and allow the overflow to run into your sump, refugium, or display. Do not run your entire system flow over the rocks, only around 40 gallons per hour is estimated for this application.

Anaerobic - Optimized for Nitrate Removal
Install the Genesis Rocks in a very low flow area, deprived of as much oxygen as possible below the waterline. This can be a low flow area in your sump or refugium, under your sand, or in your aquascape. Anaerobic bacteria break down the most nitrate in these low oxygen environments. 

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 Rock 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. 

GENESIS BACTERIA DIRECTIONS:

1 drop per 20 gallons of total system water volume daily. Increase to 4 drops daily per 20 gallons for two weeks if using to cycle a new system. 

WHAT IS PRO CARBON?

High performance activated carbon for crystal clear water in fresh-water and salt-water aquariums. PolypLab Pro Carbon is is an ultra high performance activated carbon manufactured under the most strict quality controls. 

HOW DOES PRO CARBON WORK?

PolypLab Pro Carbon dramatically improves water quality in your aquarium by rapidly absorbing harmful toxins, impurities, organic wastes, medications, and more. Problems with hair algae or slow coral growth can be by the release of phosphates by impure activated carbons with high POI levels - sometimes as high as 14.0! Phosphate is known to promote the growth of nuisance algae as well as intefere with the proper growth of stony corals. PolypLab Pro Carbon has one of the lowest POI levels in the industry of only 1.3!

DIRECTIONS:

Before use rinse PolypLab Pro Carbon with fresh clean water to remove carbon dust. PolypLab Pro Carbon should be placed between layers of fine filter media and placed in an area of your sump with strong movelment. Pro Carbon is also perfect for use in media reactors. 

Aqua One Filter Pads work alongside your current filtration set up to help remove unwanted particles and debris before it recirculates throughout your aquarium.

Aqua One Filter pads are able to be cut and shaped to suit any filtration system and assist in maintaining ideal water conditions.

Ammonia can be extremely toxic, and high levels place fish under extreme stress. The biological cycle of your aquarium where excess food, faecal matter, urea and fish respiration results in the natural generation of Ammonia (NH3). Ammonia becomes lethal to aquatic animals in high concentrations, and decreases the aquarium water of oxygen. Keeping ammonia under control is very important. With the aid of the Ammonia Pad, it will help to maintain optimum water quality.

Features & Benefits:

• Can be used in a variety of filtration systems such as hang on filter, canister filters, tricke/mini reef systems, top filters, internal filters and pond filters
• Maintains optimum water flow
• Effectively traps unwanted particles such as uneaten food and waste
• Provides a healthier environment for your aquatic inhabitants
• Easy to replace
• Available in various styles and sizes

Available in:

• 10459 AMMONIA PAD SELF CUT FILTER PAD 25.4 X 45.7CM
