rock

My friend has been running a 20 gallon tank for about 6 months now. After moving too fast and crashing his tank already he has asked for my advice to slowly restock his tank. It has been 3 months since the crash and he has since added a cleanup crew and 3 small fish. His nitrates aren’t perfect...

Hey guys, so I'm about to work on my second tank and could use some advice on dry rock. Personally, I prefer dry rock method. It's a little slower, but it avoids any unwanted pests, and since this is going to be a frag grow out tank, I'd like to avoid any possibility of pests or problems...

I just wanted a few ideas for a scape for a 20 long that I will have a lot of LPS, zoas, and mushrooms on. please post a few pictures of you nano tank for some ideas. Thanks!

Hi... I brought a load of frags from someone and have a couple that are unknown to me, at first I thought the coral on them may have died, you can see when the blue light is turned on there are colours on the rock .. not sure what they are.. can anyone help? Thanks

I was helping a friend of mine get into the hobby after he told me he wanted to keep a mantis shrimp. I built him a plan for his build and explained how everything works and all the “rigorous” processes and procedures he’d have to follow to set it up properly and maintain it. It’s a 13.5 gallon...

Not sure what these are, I just spotted them today on my dry rock that has been in the tank for about 3 months. Only other things in the tank are 2 clowns, urchine, zoa, mix of snails and a xenia coral which btw happens to be right next to the rock that has these things on them. Thanks!

Bleaching rock? I went to Lowe’s picked up closest thing I thought to being basic bleach EXCEPT it was splashless. Bleach used to be basic and contain 8% Sodium Hypochlorite. Now it’s been watered down in some cases to 3 percent and has all this “extra” stuff in it. Scents, thickening...

Got this as a hitchhiker on some live rock about a week or so ago. It was smooth, slimy, and uniform in color and texture when I put it in my tank. It hasn't moved at all, so I assumed it was some sort of sponge and would die off during my cycle. Three days ago it started growing what looks...

Hi all, I started on the minimal side with rock and have slowly been adding to fill in here and there... my question is how close to the surface do you have rock? Thanks!

Hi all, I had a pile of rubble that I wanted to make use of so I glued it together with superglue into some nice shapes, but to get it to hold well I used the spray accelerator. I noticed the rock still had a little bit of the odor of the accelerator so I've been soaking it in a bucket of RODI...

Just putting a reasonably large piece of rock in the tank, and the question is will it effect the tanks stability? Is it likely to start any sort of new cycle? The rock is from an old tank and has been cooking in the dark in salt water in the garden for months. It looks clean and fresh, smells...

Hello Experienced Reefers, The BRS Channel has done a video on this, and I've seen a few threads touch on it, but there is a knowledge gap for me on how to deal with my Rock in the planning stage of setting up a reef tank. Now, for most walkthroughs and guides one of the first steps after...

so I stated my tank with BRS reef saver dry rock. I miss the diversity of having all kinds of cool critters. I was thinking about ordering 20 pounds of live sand and 30 pounds of live rock from Tampa bay salt water. I would use the 30 pounds of LIVE rock and remove 90% of the rock I have now. My...

Hey guys, I have been in the hobby for right at a year now and finally placed my first coral in my tank. I realized though that my rock work does not really have a lot of room for coral (see picture) and I really want to change that. How can/should I handle changing the rock in my tank? I want...

When it comes to a QT do you guys let the fish rest a day or so and then give them copper treatment for ich and such as a precaution. Or do you just let them sit in the QT for a set amount of time and hope they show no signs of disease that could be introduced into your tank? also; I welcome...

I’ve always used epoxy and glue to make my rocks sturdy but I want to put my newest art work to the bottom glass, should I use epoxy or superglue ?

I noticed That one specific rock has certain little worm. I tried To scrape them off and they feel rough like rocks. Then few weeks later, today, i see One of the worms opening up like if it’s a flower? Or a mouth? What is this? And is it dangerous ? Should i dump The rock ? Sorry for the...

So my last tank is officially taken down and out of commission. I essentially shut it down and never broke it down, because I was tired of dealing with ich. I’m now attempting to do this with as much thought and thoroughness as I can. To prevent any losses in the new tank I’m setting up. I’m...
