live rock

Finally after months I’m going to start filling my 75 gallon tank with water. My plan is to take some caribsea rock from my old 30 gallon tank and put it into this one. The caribsea rock has been in my in my tank since May of 2023, I added it with dry rock for my rock scape. I would assume it’s...

So I’ve had some major issues with nitrates due to over feeding of brine shrimp party because of me being away and a friend looking after the tank and partly me worrying about a mandarin goby. Now I’ve got some algae issues etc that I’m working through but I’ve got these weird very very fine...

Does any one know what it is that’s growing out of my live rock? Bought it about 6 weeks ago and it’s been growing bit by bit but not sure what it is. I am assuming some sort of coral but not sure if it is and if so what kind. If it is coral would like to help it grow. Any ideas?

I have a fish tank that’s empty but two geckos that aren’t eating. I found two poops from my geckos but I leave them food and they’re not eating I think they’re juveniles but if they are I’ll feed them crickets everyday like they said. I’m worried they’ll die I know this isn’t fish related but I...

Hello! This is my first SW tank and I’d like some professional advice. I’m worried I killed one of my larger live rock. I got about 40% live rock, 60% dry. The live rock was absolutely beautiful, I mean some objectively great rocks. One of them was super alive, but sadly came with Aptasia. I...

Hi all. Long story short... I bought some cruddy USED LR years ago, jet washed and scrubbed all the algae and mess off of it, soaked it in RO and then setup a tank. Never had the best results and then when I moved house I let it dry out thinking it would kill all the nitrates and phosphates with...

So I painted this coral tree i made with krylon fusion all in one paint. It has been drying for weeks. Mainly because I was so unsure if it was safe or not.

Hello, I’m starting a new 40 gallon tank and I’m wondering if I can use live rock as a source of ammonia so I can add Dr Tim’s one and only nitrifying bacteria. If I can should I add the bacteria immediately?
