This is a discussion forum, correct? My posts are not meant to be negative, they are meant to educate and foster discussion. Like I said, if you established a tank 100% from terrestrial rock and did not have a Dino outbreak, you are the exception and not the rule. For every one person who claims they had no issues, there a dozen who have. There may be other factors as to why you "got lucky" such as introducing a number of items into the tank that contained beneficial life on them thereby "seeding" the tank early on and preventing the Dino outbreak. I'm not just randomly making assumptions here. From my experience you are much more likely to get Dino outbreaks when solely using terrestrial rock.
Universal truth you are seeking. A 40 lb rock weights 40 lbs. Here a picture of some of my marco rocks. Cheaper by the ton. Worked for me. It can work for you.I was really hoping and absolute and universal truth would be found in this thread.
Oh well.
The scape looks awesome. I will be starting a tank with Marco rocks this winter.
Talk is cheap here is my tank U can show me yours then we can debate. Sitting at the computer and type has no value.
This is only the back side I don't need to show u the front.
Thank you! The payoff was well worth it;Drool hahaI really dig the Aquascape - Love working with Rock!!! Great Video!
@Battlecorals, Good to learn about this big system, please post pics of it here when you have it ready. 1k lbs of Marco must be insane and look very cool.
The rocks have so much surface area for placing frags, so much can be done
Ut ohhhh! You do realize that you are now doomed to failure now that you are using terrestrial rock right? LOLI do not want to hijack this thread, but Here's a thread all about the build and a recent pick below. All the rock you see is from Marco rocks. The 1k lbs of Marco is spread through all 6 tanks, the sump and a couple satellite tanks connected.

Here is another new thread about dry rock and how he is coming along. Then I chimed in my my .02Did you use a Bacteria in a bottle product to make this rock live?
