live rock

Hi everyone. I'm in a slight bind here and I wanted to request your opinion on here before I contact the shipper. I placed an order from GulfLiveRock for their premo deco rock. We scheduled delivery for today. However, I just got off the phone with Southwest Cargo who informed me that the...

Hello, I have very regrettably neglectedy tank after a big move. I have stored it in the basement for about a year now without as many water changes and care as I used to give it. Now that I have settled from my move I am looking to clean up and restart the tank to it's former glory. I have had...

Hello Guys, I cannot find a description for the type of rock I have added images to. To me these are not suitable for aquariums. I think colonies started to be sold as rocks after coral bleaching problems. Anyone have an idea about this?

How far is your dry/live rock to the back of your aquarium?

Hello! Funny, I posted about my 55 gallon peninsula earlier today, asking for opinions on whether or not I should remove some rock as I felt like I had too much, and not enough room for my fish to swim! Well now I have the opposite problem, where I feel like I don’t have enough rock or places...

Hey folks! I’ve got a 55 gallon set up as a peninsula. The tank is about 4 months old, and my question today is: can you have too much rock? I am worried that my tank won’t allow enough swimming room for additional fish, as I’ve already seen some minor aggression (territorial, clowns chase goby...

My tank has been set up for a month and now these purple spots started appearing on the rocks. Can it be coralline?

I’m 2 weeks into cycling a tank and I just put in a tiny piece of LR in today 5 hours or so ago and I did see a couple of those more shrimp looking pods that crawl around on the rocks and in the sand. I crushed up a couple pellets and dropped it in to continue feeding the cycle and now I have...

Cycling A new Tank I have Live Rock and Sand I also added Bio Spira Do I need to add Raw shrimp also???

Hi. This my first saltwater aquarium and I would like some tips and feedback. In the end, I would like to have some coral and maybe a couple clownfish. I got some live rock from my LFS and took a shot at aquascaping it. In my mind, it looks good, but I don't know if it will work for fish and...

I am cycling my current tank with the help of 3 live rocks and a bit of sand from a mature aquarium sitting in a pantyhose at the back of the sump. The problem is I didn't have a heater for a day and the water was really cold, will the bacteria have died and how long do you think the cycle will...

Hey all I gotta question to run past y’all. So I’m in the process of putting together a shopping list for a tank. I’ve made up my mind on adding a sump (a 10 gallon aquarium). I also want to run a predominately (or completely) biological/refugium filtration setup. However, I now have a decision...

Hey guys! I’m a new reefer and I believe what I’m experiencing is Diatom algae which I’ve read that just letting it play its course is what I should do. I do have some green algae starting to grow and hopefully that will cancel out the Diatom (if that’s possible). I’m just looking for...

My 100g sprang a leak and had to quickly downsize. I have over 100lbs of rock I want to get rid of. Various sizes. Currently in my old sump with heat, filtration and movement. Pick your pieces $3 a lb. also have some with zoas and yellow sponge - make an offer.

Hi there! I’m new to the saltwater hobby and I’ve recently ordered a fluval evo 13.5 gallon aquarium. While researching, I’ve had some questions about cycling the aquarium that I’ve been unable to find answers to or that I’ve found answers to and want to clarify and confirm. My first question is...

I wanted to note some of my observations from using Brightwell Aquatic's Lugol's solution to rid my live rock of pests. In hindsight, I would have been more intentional about doing this and taken photos and logs, but I figured I'd write something up. Context: This is my third attempt at using...

This is my new biocube 32 I started a couple weeks ago, 25lb of live sand and 1 6lb live rock along wit some dry rock and two clowns, waiting on it to mature more before I do anything eles to it, fish are eating great and seem very happy, if you have one of these tanks what do you run your...

Should I be concerned about this growth? Is there something I should introduce to curb the algae looking growth? I’m going to be implementing a refugium in the sump in a few weeks time

So tank is going on 10 months now, it is a JBJ45 which I started with 40lbs of dry rock. I changed out my chemipure in my media basket the other day and noticed a lot of build up of junk in my filter media (they're those simple plastic rings). Is there really any point for having those in...
