live rock

I’ve used BRS reefsaver rock for a long time. I’m setting up a 180 and looking to purchase some rock. I can’t find a single review about the biotek rock, yet it looks the same as the reef saver and about a $1 per pound cheaper. Any experience with the biotek rock. Thank you.

A while ago(3-4 years ago) when I first started my tank, I used Dry rock. I never got coralline algae to grow even though my calcium is at about 400-420 and my dkh is at 10-11. I am now wondering if my dry rock is now live and how would I know if it is. I am honestly just assuming its live since...

I just got a 4 gal waterbox aio. I have a 75g which is an established tank, and a 70.2 waterbox which is cycling with dry rock to have the 75 transferred into it. Since I’ll have no use for the rock in the 75 after the transfer I’m thinking of using a piece to seed this 4 gal pico. What’s the...

Just noticed this on my live rock. Any ideas?

I found this small orange snail in my tank this morning. He would have originated from some live rock that was acquired through gulf reef live rock. Thanks as always for your help!

Currently I’m letting my tank fallow. I’m on my 5th week and I got till 72 days. Had ich and trying to get rid of it. When I first started a while back I used tap water to fill up my tank knowing better. I had an insane amount of algae I’m my tank. Did some research and got an rodi unit. I had...

One of the weirdest trends in reefing has to be the increased use of bleach in the hobby. Once upon a time it was only (mis-)used to clean dirty filters and such. These days the most common use for it seems to be soaking live rock in it — to kill it. Did we flashback to the 1960s when this...

Anyone looking for Live Rock may run across the site LiveRockNReef.. I was in need of seeing my dry rock with some quality live rock and stumbed across this site. I ended up going this route because there were quite a few decent reviews and at the end of the day, if all the hitchhikers died...

Randy, Muriatic acid, Live Rock and Vermetid snails... oh my !!! How long after acid before you can use the rock again? I tore down my 90 gallon and was doing a reset when decided to go bigger. I had infants and had a big battle with vermetid snails, the tank went into maintenance mode only...

I decided to totally rescape my tank. (50g) So I purchased some “Real Reef” live rock from my LFS that’s been in their tank for about a month. -Drove 5 minutes home without any water but rocks were still wet. -I have some live rock from an established tank sitting in my sump about 20lbs...

So I picked up some old dry live rock with some nice crusty gunk on it. The rock is totally dead at this point, it was sitting out of any tank for quite a while. I want to use it for a totally new setup which I can't get water in for about a month. I threw all of it in a bucket with an amount...

So I added more dry rock into my reef and over the past week ONLY that new rock began to form diatoms and air bubbles. I dose 20ml of white vinegar everyday. My nitrates are undetectable and don't have phosphate test kit but just added a ton of phosguard little more then I should have to be...

150 gallon tank. Total water is 137 gallons with sump. Here are two pictures. One is without the live rock, the other is with the live rock. I know the color will match later on, but please let me know if I have too much rock in the tank. There is 124 lbs of dry rock in the display...

Just restarting an old tank and wanting to make sure the rock is 100% pest and phosphate and problem free. I bought around 40Kg of rock from a guy that had removed it from his tank around a year ago and it has just been sat around dry since then. However, I don't know or trust the history (I'm...

Hello im somewhat new to saltwater aquariums ive had mine up now for roughly 6 months. Im have trouble getting different types of coraline algae to grow. The only color i have is a reddish color and from what i understand other colors have to be physically brought into my tank? How would i go...

Hello Everyone! We currently have life rock in our tank, and my husband is not happy with it. He would like to get actual live rock, to change out a little at a time. I ran across A Purple Reef, and wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with them, or know of anyone that has. Do you...

What allows it to appear and how do you battle it?

hello all Sorry if this article has been discussed before, it is being discussed in another forum and the first time I have seen it, I’m not scientifically qualified enough to critique it, your thoughts chaps...

hi everyone, I’m planning to upgrade my 20g nano to a 73g reefer 350. I’m planning to remove all my existing live rocks (20lbs) into the new tank to aquascape with some additional new rock, and let it cycle for about a week before I move everything from my existing Nano tank. Will my 20 gallon...
