So I went to my LFS yesterday (the only one in town other than Petco and Petsmart) and was looking at the rocks and am confused on the differences. Unfortunately, the guy who was helping me didn't know too much and he said the guy who knows more wouldn't be in for quite a while so I've come here...

Why, or why not? Do you now, or have you ever used it? What are, or were the consequences? Are you aware of any scientific evidence to back up your answer? Thanks!

Whats the opinion on lace rock? Anyone have photo's of a tank set up with it? My main concern about this type of rock is it leaching minerals. The main reason I am asking this is I know where it comes from and what associated mineral are found in it. So Basically for about $80 in gas and an...

First off, i'd like to say hello to everyone. i'm new to this forum. I had a quick question about Lace rock. After going through a huuuge PITA orange water problem i removed everything one by one in my tank until my lace rock was left. Once i took it out i found that the sand underneath was...

My girlfriend and I went to the LFS yesterday and got some dry rocks! I'm putting them in the new 90gal I'm cycling now. I got 30 pounds between two different types of rock. I will be adding 60lbs of live Fiji rock slowly from my running and stocked 55gal to seed and cycle the 90gal...

Hey Everyone, I have just joined this forum, and need some help. I will be setting up my second saltwater tank. The first one was a 45 gallon tank and has been up and running for about 2 months. But my question is for my second tank i don't want to spend a lot of money on Live rock. I have had...

Ok so I have these two blue damsels who are tunneling THROUGH my rock, I also have two chromis who are digging into the rock as well. Are these fish known todo that, and if so how do I save my rock???

Here are a number of rocks that I used for years on my freshwater setup. I got them from a freshwater/saltwater store. I believe the 1st one is lace rock, but I'm not sure what the others are. All of them are far from smooth and I believe would do a good job, but I want to ensure they don't...

ok.. so i just bought 30lbs of premium live rock online and it turns out to be a scam.. they send me lace rock instead.. the website is intmarinefish.com (just so you aware).. my tank is 125gL and already having avarage amount of live rock in there... i placed those lace rocks in my tank...

hey all, I have a 40 breeder (custom drilled) ordered and on the way in a couple weeks. I will be moving the contents of my 29 gallon SPS dominant reef to the 40 to give it more room to grow out. However, I have never move this amount of SPS to a tank that will be sitting in the same spot as my...

Where can i buy base rock @

Be honest here. How long does it take for dried (dead) rock take to become live to be able to support fish and corals? Say you had 50lbs of dead rock and added 1 5lb piece of live rock. 6 months? Also to do this safely with NO algae nightmares? Do you have to cook the dead rock?

One more option. If I got a 75G tank and stand. I can use a wetdry (new bioballs) that I have in the garage. I can buy the NO light for $80. If I found a skimmer for $300 I can set this up. What do I need for the fish? I will not have LR so I need some structure for them. Ideas? This...

Well, the only place in town that sells completely dead base rock that would be aquarium appropriate(dunno what is wrong with the stuff from the other store in town, but it hasn't gotten ANY coraline on it, or much living in it. I think I'm going to take my one piece from them and break it up...

This is the last piece of LR that is overrun. Should save the blasto and throw the rock in w/the rest of cooking rock or... try to remove the algaes and save the gsp and zoas(they're kinda taking over the blasto) too?

I have seen some nice stands and canopies like CRVZ's. I would like to see some more to get some ideas on building one. Epecially those that are really finished off and those made with minimal tools and have a finished look. And my minimal tools I mean no table saws or routers just a circular...

You know - I am still debating on the 28G Nanocube or a bigger tank. I know I wil lget bored of the Nanocube eventually since it can only house maybe 2-3 small fish and a few corals. I confirmed the electrical issue will cost allot to do and its probably out of the question. With a TV, DVD...
