    Loving My Mantis Shrimp & Live Rock From Tampa Bay Saltwater

    I wanted to give a big shoutout for a great experience at Tampa Bay Saltwater (@LiverockRocks)! I've had this itch to do a species tank with a mantis shrimp, and I had also never done live rock/sand before. I'd seen TBS listed here on R2R a bunch and finally decided to give their site a look...

    Do the Dry Purple Rocks Really Cause Issues?

    I'm planning a 200 gal reef tank and thinking about the aquascape. I've had a 46 gal for about 20 years and that rock was live rock. I can't remember if it was Marco or TBS, but it was the expensive stuff and eventually all the "good" live stuff died off the rocks probably because of poor...

    Budget ways of introducing beneficial bacteria into the tank?

    Some time ago, I posted a thread here, about ways of increasing biodiversity in tank. I wanted to start with Fritzzym 900, but most of you recommended me to use live rock. The problem is, I don't have enough money to start full live rock, or even 50:50. I'm planning on setting up a 35 gallon...

    Yet Another Question about Live Rock............

    So, I'm back again. I may need a refresher on some things, as well as some new clarification on live rock. My tank got shattered over the holidays, so I experienced a major setback, but I'm giving the hobby one more try, so I've since replaced the aquarium. I've got pretty much all my equipment...

    Struggling to find quality live rock

    I've been fighting a losing battle against both small cell and large cell amphidinium in my 10 gal FOWLR, and I'm ready to do a bit of a reset because it's clear these things aren't going away. My goal isn't to eliminate them completely, I don't think that's realistic, but I don't have the...

    This isn’t an anti-live-rock post it’s a question of whether wild extraction still serves a functional purpose in 2025, given what we can now culture

    There’s a long-running belief in reefing that wild live reef rock provides something biologically unique or irreplaceable when starting a tank. Historically, that belief was justified — live rock was the only reliable way to import nitrifying bacteria and biodiversity. With modern bottled...

    Would you trust this rock?

    I purchased some used dry rock that has not been in an aquarium for years from somebody who had gotten out of the hobby. Setting up a new 400 gallon setup. Was thinking about aquaping with this or putting it in my sump. Many of the coral skeleton pieces that this person provided has this bluish...

    Has anyone purchased live rock from livestockusa.org?

    The title is pretty straightforward but has anyone ever purchased the fiji aquacultured live rock from livestockusa.org? If so, how was your experience? Was there lots of die-off? Did it have good coralline coverage? If so, did it survive the curing process? Were there any hitchhikers? And of...
