MacroRocks - Shelf Scape 50 Dry Live Rock Kit - Brand New in Box
I currently have a 20g AIO IM. I have a filter sock on one side and a media basket in the other side, my tank is dry sand and rock and has been cycled for a couple months now, I kinda regret not using live sand but oh well. My question is, I've been debating using my empty media basket (besides...
So, looking to start setting up a new tank after being away from the hobby for 7 or 8 years. Please let me apologize for what could turn out to be a bunch of already answered questions, but I’m looking for the most updated thinking on much of this.
I’m thinking a 40 to 60 gallon DT with...
Hey everyone! In my last thread, I discussed my used live rock. I've decided that for my new tank, I want to create a HNSA (Habitat Negative Space Aquascape). From what I understand, using dry rock seems best for this. However, I'm hesitant to cycle the tank with bottled bacteria, as I've heard...
So as mentioned, I'm new to reefing and the saltwater aquarium community. I am learning as I go and made a painful mistake I'm looking to rectify as safely as possible.
BACKGROUND:
Tank was bought used in August while still running as a functioning aquarium, previous owner had up and running...
I’m changing my aquascape out with new rock work. I have 2 structures I’m adding. I removed half the live rock already and put one of the new dry rock structures in. I’m debating on a waiting a week before removing the rest of my old rock with the rock to give time for the biological filter to...
I have two unopened boxes (45 & 45lbs) of Marco Dry Rock. I also have 62 lbs of broken down pieces of various sizes. I have 12 lbs of small pieces and another 11 lbs of even smaller pieces (not of much use so the really small pieces are free if you want them). I will sell for $3/lb ($BRS...
Taking down my tank and selling all livestock before I sell the tank/equipment. Rock has been in the tank for approximately 6 years. Lots of purple coralline algae on the rocks. Also included are all of my coral. Tons of mushrooms (3 different types/colors), a leather coral, a large...
Hi there guys. Just doing what the welcome message recommended and starting up a thread so I can keep track of progress on my first saltwater aquarium.
This is how it looks right now. I plan to add a little more dry rock to it (on the right side).
I will update with pics as I go!
Thanks for...
Hi all, setting up my first reef, a 4 foot peninsula. There’s not one dominant viewing side, all 3 sides are equally important. Wanted a sloping look from the end on view. Planning on having some LPS on the sand bed on the long sides. Trying to keep that in mind and create areas with lower...
Hey guys. I’m currently cycling my fluval flex 32.5g and am using dry rock in conjunction with live sand and Brightwell Aquatics’ Dry Rock starter kit (start xlm, quik cycle, and clean). I’m also dosing Microbacter 7. Below are values I recorded on my cycle thus far. The readings I got tonight...
Hi everyone, I recently purchased some used rock that was left to completely dry out. Some of the pieces beak easily and are completely red with white patches. I was wondering what kind of rock this is and if it is safe to use in my reef tank as I have never seen rock that is completely red like...
Hi everyone I recently purchased some previously used rock that was left out to completely dry. A few of the pieces are completely red with white coats on them. They are easy to breaks apart and are even red on the inside. I was wondering what kind of rock this is and if these were safe to use...
Hello, I’ve been researching which bleach to use to disinfect rocks. So far this is the closest thing to 100% sodium hypochlorite I could find and without scents or “low splash”. On the ingredients list it shows “Water, Sodium Hypochlorite, and Sodium Hydroxide” would this be safe to disinfect...
Hello!
I have a ton of rock that was once alive (years ago) but is now obviously dried. Is there any prep I would have to do before chucking it in a tank with a live rock to seed? This rock has been in buckets in my attic so no exposure to any moisture or elements for over 5 years. It was...
My tank is a 16 gallon Biocube. Right now I am not satisfied with my aquascape. I have three pieces of dry rock I want to put in my tank. My question is can I add all three pieces in at once or should I do it more slowly? I am also wondering how I should prepare it to go into my tank. Should I...
Up for sale is a chunk of pukani dry rock. It is about the size of a soccer ball and weighs 2.7lbs. It would make the perfect centerpiece in any nano tank! Asking $25 plus shipping. It has been bleach cured and dried.
Im having a bit of a GHA problem and one of my rocks has pally on, Im not a big fan of them and it makes it particularly hard to clean.
Can I just toss out 50% of my rock and put in brand-new dry rock from my LFS? I have BIO Balls in the sump and id still have 50% live rock that would populate...
Hello everyone, I am in the process of getting an Innovative Marine 25 Lagoon. I currently have a tank with live rock in it. A couple of weeks ago I took out probably 5-10 lbs of rock that was in the tank which was live rock. I dried it out and it has been in the sun the past 2-3 weeks. Is it...
