    Tropic Eden Morroca Rock Review

The pieces I got are HUGE - considered 'small' on the Premium Aquatics website! The detail and structure is...

    "Dry live rock"

    So I was looking at the carib sea moani "dry live rock" stuff for my tank and I kind of like it. My only concern would be that "dry live rock" like pukani etc. from what I've heard can leech a lot of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus into the tank. I was just wondering if anyone has used this...

    80 lbs of Aquaforest AF rock for 98G 5ft shallow tank?

    As per title -- considering it's dry artificial rock -- would 80 lbs of Aquaforest AF rock be enough for 98G 5ft shallow tank? I assume in terms of weight it's gonna be similar to Marcorocks (or lighter according to some people). Should I get more? Or is that enough?

    What is this black stuff on my dry base rock?

    I found this black stuff on a new piece of CaribSea South Sea Base Rock (it came out of the box a few days ago and has never entered my aquarium). It does not scrub off and appears to be encrusted on the rock. Should I worry about it?

They've never been used in a tank before so I'm not worried about hitch hikers, and I already have lots of live rock in my tank so I'm not worried about treating them with...

    How to remove "coralline-purple" dye from artificial rock

    This is a Wrasse Den for a bare bottom. It's a great idea, but it's dyed fake purple. Call me crazy, but in a 60G cube with white rock the purple dye looks way too fake. Is there a way to remove it, other than just sandpapering it to the point it'd end up removing the rock-like texture? I know...
