Description

ReefScape Bonsai Aquascape

ReefScape aquascapes are 100% handcrafted using real natural ocean rock, designed in a bonsai-style structure that combines artistic form with biological performance.

Each layout features an open, multi-tier design:

Top level optimized for SPS corals (strong light & high flow)

Middle level ideal for LPS corals (balanced flow & placement)

Elevated open base to keep the sand bed clean and eliminate dead spots

Our open structure promotes excellent water flow, maximum bacterial colonization, and a clean negative-space look, supporting long-term reef health while showcasing corals at every level.Every piece is one of a kind, built for modern high-flow reef systems.

shipping & unboxing

Shipping Costs:

Shipping for custom rock structures is $99 flat rate at checkout. This item comes in a custom filled foam shipping box to protect it. Because of this, packaging can take up to 3 business days.

Disclaimer:

Due to the handling during shipping of these fragile rock sculptures via Fedex, UPS the customer acknowledges that there is a chance that there may be minor damage that will require basic repairs. Reef Scape customer service can walk you through the simple repair process if necessary.

Unboxing Instructions:

We recommend that the customer cut open the box, remove the side walls, and use a serrated knife to cut the packing foam out in chunks to avoid hooking on the rock when pulling the packaging apart. This will greatly reduce the risk of damage during unboxing as the foam is molded in and around the rock, including smaller branches and extensions.
