live rock

Hi guys, I was wondering what was the best to glue and stack live rock, to create taller columns on my tank? Right now I have a very plain and simple aquascape, but was think in buying more live rock to make it more complex This is how it looks now: I'd like to make a column higher on...

Hey guys, how is it going? This is my first time at reef2reef, and my first attempt at a saltwater tank. I've had a freshwater tank with goldfish for about a year now, and decided to take the leap and start a saltwater tank as well. So what I'm paling to have is a 20 Gallon tank with 2 clownfish...

Any ideas on who has the best prices on live and dried live rock in the area? Any that can beat the prices on eBay or other online retailers? I am just starting a 60 gallon tank and I'm looking for 80 - 100 lbs. I am thinking of doing mostly dried rock with some "starter" live rock and live...

So I've been battling an outbreak of bubble algae for quite some time now, and have tried all of the natural methods of removal (manual, emeralds). Unfortunately, my tank is too small for me to introduce some of the more aggressive bubble algae eating fish. I'm trying to weigh my options at...

I'm in the process of setting up a 40 breeder, and I was at the LFS today picking up some "live" rock (live only in the sense that it got wet for several months in their curing tank) to get things started. I figured I'd ask them what their opinion was on the Florida aquacultured stuff. They...

My tank is 60 gallons... kinda skinny as far as depth is concerned. I'm having a hard time getting an aquascape setup I like without touching the walls of my tank. I'm thinking about breaking up some of my larger rocks. Also, I'm thinking about taking the sand out and keeping it in a plastic...
