dry rock

Hi everybody, As the title suggests, I just started a new tank after being unable to have a reef tank for the past 9 years due to my work travels… I’m doing everything “right’’ this time. Got a new Red Sea reefer 350 and filled it with 80 lbs of live sand and about 60 pounds of dry rock. Added...

Hey everyone I’m looking for a little advice. I am planing on setting up a new tank early next year but was thinking of getting the rock soon and starting to cycle it in a brute trash can. My question is once I have the rock in the brute with saltwater heater and flow pump along with the...

Hi all, Recently set up a new tank and I have sand and dry rock from a 18 month old nano setup which can go in the sump. Main display is marco dry rock. I’ve smashed up the rock to throw in the sump as the whole rocks were too big for the chamber. Question is, do you think this will have...

I have lots of various types of reef rocks available for sale. Most of them have been sitting in my garage for a couple of years. My wife is making me clean out the garage, so here I am. I didn't feel like weighing them all, but I'd guess they are around 150 lbs. Would need to pick them up in...

Hello everyone! Im going to be getting my first tank soon and have a few generic questions, if anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it! 1. I had someone 3d print some decorations using a pet safe PETG material, and I also found a safe non-toxic water based acrylic paint. After I sand, paint...

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...

Is this a good product for dry rock? Can this skip cycling, or decrease time to cycle

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...

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...

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.

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...
