Why Reefers Choose Fragzone
- Purpose-built for frags.Small, irregular shapes with flat bottoms hold standard frag cuttings without needing plugs or epoxy mountains.
- 100% aragonite.Calcium-carbonate rock helps buffer pH and supports healthy alkalinity, just like the rest of CaribSea’s LifeRock line.
- Natural reef color.Pink and purple tones mimic mature coralline algae for an instantly-aged look, no months of waiting required.
- Mix & match.Use it to fill in gaps in an aquascape, build a frag rack, or extend the surface area of an existing reef structure.
- Safe and inert.Will not leach silicates, phosphates, or metals into your tank.
How to Use
- Rinse the rock briefly in RO/DI or saltwater to remove dust.
- Place pieces in your display tank, sump, or frag tank wherever you need a frag landing zone.
- Attach coral frags with reef-safe glue or epoxy. A drop of CA accelerator sets the bond in seconds.
- Dip new frags in coral dip before mounting to keep pests out of your reef.

FAQ
How many pieces are in a 2.25 lb bag?
Counts vary because pieces are natural and irregular, typically 15–30 small chunks per bag depending on size.
Is this real live rock with bacteria?
No, Fragzone is dry, sterile aragonite. It will not cycle a tank on its own. Use it in an established reef, or pair it with a bacteria starter like Brightwell MicroBacter to seed it.
Do I need to cure or soak it first?
A quick freshwater or RO/DI rinse is enough to knock off dust. No long curing cycle is required since it is dry, inert rock.
Will the pink color fade?
The base color is permanent. Real coralline algae will grow over it in a mature reef and may eventually overtake the original tint, which is exactly what you want.
