liverock

Hello! A week ago, I set up a 15 gallon all in one cube. I used Caribsea 'live' sand and Caribsea dry rock in the display. I already added two small clownfish (which are the only livestock I will have for a bit) and I'm attempting a fish in cycle. I'm testing my water daily, am ready to do water...

Would it be better to use live rock in the back on an AIO tank instead of bio filters like seachem bio matrix ??

Hey guys, new tank set up and I got this piece of live rock from an LFS. It has what looks to be so much old growth on it. I’m assuming the porous encrusting spot is sponge but what else is on here? Can anyone help ID what this stuff is. I found it in a giant bin of live rock and thought it...

I ordered some rock and critters and they sent another crab that I didn’t order. It’s orange and white with striped legs, any ideas? It’s not going in until I know what it is.

This has to be ich. These little parasites are sitting on my live rock. Have no fish in my tank other than my porcupine puffer a snowflake eel and some inverts. Puffer is immune to the ich so is the eel.

Hello R2R, Unfortunately my busy and crazy life has me neglecting my tank, and it’s not fair to everything inside, so I’ve decided I’m going to leave the hobby for awhile. It’s an 80g SCA long cube, it’s just under 3 years old. The tank still has water and is still running as this is being...

When I set up my tank 5 months ago, the local fish store I work at didn’t have the best selection of rock, and it was only dry rock. But we just got a shipment of some really nice live rock chunks with lots of coralline algae on it. I’m wondering if it would hurt anything to add a small piece to...

Curious if anyone has seen these sponges before. The large grayish white sponge is the same color as a pineapple sponge but much larger at 6” x 3” underside of rock. I acquired this rock from lfs. I saw what I thought was grey putty on the underside of rock and turned out to be this sponge. The...

Hello Everyone, I just set up a new tank and am giving away my old one. The display tank is a 75 gallon acrylic. It's in pretty good shape just needs to be cleaned up no leaks. It was just up and running as of teo days ago. Has two feeding ports and a cover for the center overflow. 40 gallon...

Hello my name is Kasey and I am new to the saltwater hobby. I have been in the freshwater hobby for 10 years and have finally converted to the dark side . I currently have a new tank set up (2 months running) with live rock, a bicolour blenny and a PJ cardinal. When looking at my tank I notices...

Hello, I'm in the process of setting up my 60 gallon breeder tank. I received my live rock from kp aquatics yesterday and left it in a bin to cure for about 12 hours while I filled up my display. It was shipped overnight to my door in wet paper. There was some die off but the rock didn’t have a...

Could someone ID these? The first one has a fan like structure with almost luminescent coloring. The other two seem like sponges. The orange ones on my live rock have one or two holes and the white one has a lot. Any input helps :)

Because life gets in the way, I'm getting out of saltwater and have a 40 gallon 2+ year old tank that I'm emptying out of all livestock and liverock. The tank has 2 healthy Ocellaris clowns, a boatload of extremely (too?) healthy pulsing Xenia, a back wall of GSP, chalices, zoas, etc., along...

Hey all A while ago I noticed a tentacle coming out of the shady area of the live rock and haven’t seen it for ages. Today the tentacle is black and large and seems to be picking up left overs off the sand bed! Does anyone know what this could belong to? Sorry for the poor quality but I just...

Not sure what exactly these are.

Hey guys So we are a good few weeks into the 20 gallon and I have 6kg of live rock tank mates are Nasarrius snail, 2 red legged hermits and a turbo snail who is doing a great job on the algae clean up. The rock is covered in copepods but I noticed a weird tentacle earlier! There was a small...

Hello all! The first seven months of my saltwater hobby has been quite a crash course. Last time I posted I had a BG chromis and an orange spot shrimp goby. I found a really good deal for a pair of black storm clowns for $80. I hadn't been quarantining and the clowns died of brooklynella and the...

For those who don’t know, I recently got someone else’s established 20gal set up with two clowns and a blenny as a complete beginner. This forum has been a godsend and I appreciate you guys so much. Now for todays question: how do I clean these rocks? Will scrubbing with a toothbrush in clean...

Found this guy on a small chunk of liverock I just added to my nano tank last night. Is this an aiptasia? I've already removed the rock it is on from the tank just in case, but if it isn't aiptasia I'd like to add it back since that stuff is expensive. I don't usually use live rock so I'm...

Hi all, my tank is 3 months old and I have made the decision to cycle some Caribsea life rock away from my main display which is eventually going to replace existing rock in my tank, as I believe my crazy high phosphate levels of 0.21ppm are being caused by leaching phosphate from the rock that...

In our previous tank we picked up Ich and Velvet from not quarantining our fish. After losing half of the fish and having to rush together 3 proper hospital tanks for corals/fish/inverts we vowed to do anything we can to avoid that in the future! Now 9mo into the current tank setup (90gal) and...
