Hello fellow aquarists,
I'm currently in the planning stages of setting up my saltwater aquarium, and I'm eager to transform my dry rock into something resembling live rock. While researching online, I've come across various methods, such as using plumbers primer to achieve a purple coloration and allowing it to dry out for several days. Yes i know i can just buy live rock or already colored rock but that's not the point. im looking into a cheap way for people to save some money but do it safely.
Before proceeding with any method, I wanted to tap into the collective wisdom of this community. Are there any methods or techniques that you've personally used or heard of to simulate the appearance and functionality of live rock? Whether it's altering the color, texture, or enhancing its biological properties, I'm open to exploring different approaches.
Your insights and experiences would be invaluable in helping me make an informed decision. Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge!
