Reef Forest + Extension Kit
One of the biggest limitations in traditional scaping is what I’d call “horizontal thinking”—low rocks, flat stacks, and wasted vertical space. The LifeRock Reef Forest Kit turns that on its head, literally.
It’s a modular system built around a stable base and a series of arches and spacers that assemble into a towering scape with intentional voids. The result is impressive: you get elevation, plenty of shaded overhangs, and high-light real estate for Acros and Montis.
I particularly appreciated the predrilled frag holes. In most cases, they held plugs snugly without needing glue, and the arch layout created natural lanes of flow even with modest pumps.
Nano Tree
If you’ve worked with smaller aquariums, you know the struggle: too many rocks block flow, too few leave things looking bare. The Nano Tree is a smart middle ground. Its elevated branch design lifts coral away from the sandbed and opens up low-flow zones beneath for critters and detritus collection.
Frag Gardens
There’s something to be said for plug-and-play frag racks that don’t look like medical equipment. The LifeRock Frag Gardens are simple—just a chunk of reef-colored rock with holes—but they’re surprisingly useful.
Unlike traditional frag stations, these can be tucked into your scape or even hidden behind larger rocks, allowing you to grow out frags without crowding your main display.
Dragon Arches
Although technically designed for freshwater, the Dragon Stone Arches bring an aesthetic to aquascaping that saltwater tanks often lack—bold, architectural drama. These present an easy way to get a dragon stone arch without the difficulty of gluing or puttying one together yourself.
They’re available in multiple sizes, including 8″, 12″, and 18″.
Final Thoughts
What I appreciate most about this line is the restraint. CaribSea hasn’t tried to reinvent reefing—they’ve just built better tools for it. No gimmicks. No flashy packaging. Just thoughtful designs grounded in real-world utility.
